Abstract
- Complicated microphthalmos can be diagnosed when a reduction in global dimension is combined with other ocular anomalies. These include corneal opacities or staphylomas, cataract, aniridia, corectopia, persistance of pupillary membrane or the tunica vasculosa lentis and hyaloid vessel, thickening or ossification of the choroid and various retinal anomalies. Such a deformity is frequently bereditary, and the transmission may be either as an autosomal dominant or recessive or as a sex linked recessive character. A 10-day-old female infant was found to have unilateral microphthalmos with microcornea, corneal opacity, and aphakia.
