Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical application of ultrasound biomicroscopy in the treatment of congenital corneal opacities.Methods Medical records of 20 eyes (15 patients) with congenital corneal opacity treated at our hospital from July 2004 to November 2011 were retrospectively reviewed.Best corrected visual acuity testing,intraocular pressure testing,slit-lamp anterior segment examination,fundus examination,slit-lamp microscopic photography,B scan examination,and ultrasound biomicroscopy were performed for analysis of complications of congenital corneal opacity and selection of surgical approaches.Results The ultrasound biomicroscopic examination showed that 5 eyes had no Descemet's membrane and corneal endothelium,20 eyes had anterior synechia,5 eyes had aniridia,3 eyes had loss of lens cortex,13 eyes had cataract,14 eyes had closed angle,and 3 eyes had pupillary membrane.14 of 20 eyes received surgical treatment,including penetrating keratoplasty combined with cataract extraction and trabeculectomy (5 eyes),penetrating keratoplasty combined with pupil angioplasty (3 eyes),penetrating keratoplasty combined with cataract extraction (3 eyes),penetrating keratoplasty combined with trabeculectomy (2 eyes),and lamellar keratoplasty (1 eye).Conclusions Ultrasound biomicroscopy is important to guide the diagnosis and treatment of congenital corneal opacity.
