Guarnera A, Valente P, Pasquini L, Moltoni G, Randisi F, Carducci C, Carboni A, Lucignani G, Napolitano A, Romanzo A, Longo D, Gandolfo C, Rossi-Espagnet MC. Congenital Malformations of the Eye: A Pictorial Review and Clinico-Radiological Correlations. J Ophthalmol 2024; 2024:5993083. [PMID: 38322500 PMCID: PMC10846927 DOI: 10.1155/2024/5993083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
Congenital malformations of the eye represent a wide and heterogeneous spectrum of abnormalities that may be part of a complex syndrome or be isolated. Ocular malformation severity depends on the timing of the causative event during eye formation, ranging from the complete absence of the eye if injury occurs during the first weeks of gestation, to subtle abnormalities if the cause occurs later on. Knowledge of ocular malformations is crucial to performing a tailored imaging protocol and correctly reporting imaging findings. Together with the ophthalmologic evaluation, imaging may help frame ocular malformations and identify underlying genetic conditions. The purpose of this pictorial review is to describe the imaging features of the main ocular malformations and the related ophthalmologic findings in order to provide a clinico-radiological overview of these abnormalities to the clinical radiologist. Sight is a crucial sense for children to explore the world and relate with their parents from birth. Vision impairment or even blindness secondary to ocular malformations deeply affects children's growth and quality of life.

Abstract
When the cornea of the eye dissolves, most commonly secondary to infection or trauma, the ventral wall of the anterior chamber of the eye is no longer supported and thus bulges forward, enlarging the anterior chamber volume. This is referred to as a corneal melt, and it has a unique CT appearance that has not been previously described.

Abstract
The authors present a case of bilateral zonular dehiscence in a boy with infantile glaucoma who had developed cataracts. The zonular dehiscence was noted at the beginning of cataract surgery. The cataracts were removed and capsular tension rings and intraocular lenses were safely inserted and remained well centered.
