Congenital cataract (CC) has an important place in pediatric ocular diseases. CCs are different from senile nuclear cataracts in terms of their etiologic, clinic and morphological characteristics. CCs occur many different forms such as non-hereditary isolated cases or autosomal dominant bilateral cases. In addition, many of ocular and systemic diseases can be associated with CC and ophthalmologist should be aware of these potential risks. In this article, we questioned whether the different morphological features of CC have prognostic importance or effect decision of surgery by considering a case of CC.

Konjenital katarakt morfolojisinin prognostik önemi: Olgu sunumu

Öz

Pediatrik göz hastalıkları içinde konjenital kataraktlar önemli bir yere sahiptir. Etiolojik, klinik ve morfolojik özellikleri göz önünde bulundurulduğunda konjenital kataraktlar erişkin nükleer kataraktlardan farklıdır. Konjenital kataraktlar ailesel geçiş göstermeyen izole vakalar şeklinde görülebileceği gibi otozomal dominant bilateral vakalar şeklinde de görülebilir. İlaveten konjenital kataraktlar, bir çok oküler ve sistemik hastalıkla ilişkili olabilir ve göz hekimleri bu potansiyel birlikteliklerin farkında olmalıdır. Biz bu yazımızda, bir konjenital katarakt olgusu üzerinden, farklı konjenital katarakt morfolojilerinin prognostic önemiolup olmadığını veya cerrahi kararını etkileyip etkilemeyeceğini sorguladık.
