Abstract

Purpose: To describe the VITREORETINAL ABNORMALITIES in 24 patients with ANTERIOR MEGALOPHTHALMOS (AM).Patients and methods: Funduscopy was performed in patients examined in Labbafinejad medical center with the diagnosis of ANTERIOR MEGALOPHTHALMOS (megalocornea with visible iris diameter of 13 mm or more, iris hypoplasia, lens subluxation, cataract formation at an early age, and absence of congenital glaucoma). Their hospital records were reviewed for past history.Results: Twenty four patients (12 males, 12 females) with an age range of 4 months to 64 years were found to have AM. Eight patients did not have follow up visits. Others were followed from 1 to 16 years. Vitreous degeneration was the most common abnormal finding present in 34 eyes (73.9%). Nine eyes (19.5%) had optically empty vitreous with strands. Lattice degeneration was seen in 5 eyes (10.8%). Spontaneous vitreous hemorrhage occurred in 3 eyes and peripheral retinal neovascularization was detected in 2. Retinal detachment had occurred in 15 eyes (31.2%) leading to loss of the eye in 4 cases. Retinal break was found in 6 of the eyes including giant retinal break (1 eye) and atrophic hole (1 eye). Spontaneous retinal reattachment occurred in 1 eye. Ten eyes underwent a total of 15 surgeries with successful results in 9.Conclusion: Anterior megalophthalmic eyes seem to have a kind of vitreoretinopathy predisposing them to retinal detachment (in 31.2% of current series). Conventional scleral buckling and vitrectomy techniques yield good results in these eyes.
