Role of ultrasound and biomicroscopy in evaluation of anterior segment anatomy in congenital and developmental cataract cases.

摘要: Purpose To investigate the role of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in evaluation anterior segment anatomy cases congenital and developmental cataract. Setting Alexandria Main University Hospital, Ophthalmology Department, Faculty Medicine, University, Alexandria, Egypt. Methods In this cross-sectional nonrandomized unmasked study, was used to evaluate 32 eyes 21 children with The parents were questioned for details children's history. An initial office examination done detect visual function, pupil color, lens morphology, corneal clarity, presence gross anomaly. If fundus visible, it examined cooperative after mydriasis. Under general anesthesia, each child by UBM. Results parameters detected UBM included chamber depth, thickness, zonular fiber length, ciliary process angle, morphology. A-scan biometry also performed biometric characteristics. Conclusion Ultrasound is a valuable tool evaluating childhood cataracts associated ocular anomalies as well
