Características clínicas y análisis de OCT de una serie de casos de microftalmos posterior

Laburpena

Posterior microphthalmos is a rare condition that can be found in paediatric patients with increased farsightedness and reduced vision. A retrospective study is presented of 5 cases of posterior microphthalmia aged between 4 and 13 years. The following parameters were obtained: visual acuity, cycloplegic refractive error, optical biometry, slit lamp examination, intraocular pressure, and ocular ultrasound. The refraction, axial length and average visual acuity was + 15.35 Dp, 16.20 mm and 0.13, respectively. The fundus was examined, optical coherence tomography was performed, and also retinography and fluorescein angiography in one case. In all cases, the absence of foveal depression and different morphotypes of the papillo-macular fold were observed in the tomography. In the absence of a specific treatment, the appropriate detection, management, and monitoring of this disease is important to improve and maintain the vision of patients and recognise possible complications.
