RESUMO
Infants with anophthalmia and microphthalmia (an/microphthalmia) have often other associated congenital anomalies. The reported frequency and the types of these associated anomalies vary between different studies. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the frequency and the types of associated anomalies among cases with an/microphthalmia in a geographically well defined population of northeastern France of 387,067 consecutive pregnancies from 1979 to 2007. Of the 98 infants with an/microphthalmia born during this period (prevalence at birth of 2.53 per 10,000), 88.8 % had associated anomalies. Cases with associated anomalies were divided into recognizable conditions (25 (25.5%) cases with chromosomal and 17 (17.3%) cases with non chromosomal conditions), and non recognizable conditions (45-45.9%- cases with multiple congenital anomalies -MCA). Trisomy 13 and trisomy 18 were the most frequent chromosomal abnormalities. Amniotic bands sequence, oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum, CHARGE syndrome and VACTERL association were most often present in recognizable non chromosomal conditions. Anomalies in the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and central nervous systems were the most common other anomalies in cases with MCA and non recognizable conditions. However, given the limitation of the limited numbers of cases there should be urging caution in interpreting these results. In conclusion the frequency of associated anomalies in infants with anophthalmia and microphthalmia emphasizes the need for a thorough investigation of these cases. Routine screening for other anomalies especially musculoskeletal, cardiac and central nervous systems anomalies may need to be considered in infants with anophthalmia and microphthalmia, and referral of these cases for genetic counselling seems warranty.

Resumo Objetivo: Determinar a frequência da microftalmia associada à catarata congênita e sua frequência etiológica. Comparar o resultado visual após a cirurgia da catarata congênita em olhos microftálmicos, com o resultado visual obtido em olhos não microftálmicos. Método: Estudo retrospectivo de 76 pacientes portadores de microftalmia e catarata congênita, selecionados após análise de 1050 prontuários dos pacientes atendidos no ambulatório de catarata congênita da UNIFESP. A microftalmia foi determinada pela ecobiometria ultrassonica. Exames oculares e complementares foram feitos para esclarecer a causa etiológica. O resultado visual pós- operatório do Grupo I (com microftalmia) foi confrontado com o resultado visual obtido no Grupo II (sem microftalmia). Resultados: O diâmetro ântero-posterior dos olhos microftálmicos variou de 13 à 21 mm. A frequência etiológica da catarata congênita associada aos olhos microftálmicos foi assim distribuída: doenças infecciosas (55,3%); seguidos de idiopáticas (26,3%), colobomas (7,9%), hereditárias (6,6%), persistência do vítreo primário hiperplásico (2,6%) e associada à síndrome de Lenz (1,3%) .A frequência da microftalmia foi de 7,23 %. 68,3% de olhos afácicos microftálmicos atingiram visão melhor e ou igual à 20/200. Conclusão: A frequência da microftalmia associada à catarata congênita foi de 7,23%. A maior frequência etiológica ocorreu nas doenças infecciosas (55,3%), Embora os olhos microftálmicos tenham tendência para piores resultados visuais quando comparados aos não microftálmicos, nesta pesquisa os olhos microftálmicos afácicos que atingiram visão melhor ou igual a 20/200 foram de 68,3%.
Abstract Objective: To determine the frequency of microphthalmia associated with congenital cataract and its etiological frequency. Compare the result of visual acuity in aphakic microphthalmus eyes, with the visual acuity result obtained in non microphthalmus eyes. Methods: Retrospective study of 76 patients with microphthalmia and congenital cataract, selected after analysis of 1050 medical records of patients seen in congenital cataract clinic of UNIFESP. All patients underwent complete ophthalmologic examination and microphthalmia determined by ultrasound biometry. Investigations were made to clarify the etiological cause. The postoperative visual outcome of Group I (with microphthalmia) was faced with the visual results obtained in Group II (control group without microphthalmia). Results: The anteroposterior diameter of microphthalmus eyes ranged from 13 to 21 mm. The etiological frequency of microphthalmia and congenital cataract was distributed as follows: infectious diseases (55.3%), idiopathic (26.3%), colobomas (7.9%), hereditary (6.6%), persistent hyperplastic vitreous (2.6%) and linked to the Lenz's syndrome (1.3%). The visual acuity in aphakic eyes that reached better view and or equal to 20/200 was 68.3%. Conclusion: The frequency of microphthalmia associated with congenital cataract was 7.23%. The etiological occurred more frequently in infectious disease (55.3%). The aphakics eyes with microphthalmia tend to have worse visual acuity results than the eyes without microphthalmia. If we consider the visual results same and above 20/200 as successful in this search, aphakic eyes with microphthalmia that hit these indices are 68.3%.

Introducción: Los defectos oculares congénitos (DOC) pueden originar importante discapacidad. Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer la prevalencia total de los DOC en Asturias, su tendencia y realizar una descripción de su forma de presentación. Metodología: Análisis de los datos del Registro de Defectos Congénitos de Asturias (RDCA) de los años 19902004. La población estudiada fueron los 103.452 nacidos de madres residentes en Asturias en este periodo. Se calcularon las tasas de prevalencia total. Resultados: De los 3.035 casos con defectos congénitos registrados durante los 15 años estudiados, 70 tenían un DOC. La prevalencia total media fue de 6,8 por 10.000 nacidos, con una tendencia estable. Los más frecuentes fueron: las cataratas congénitas (2,0 por 10.000 nacidos vivos), la anoftalmia/microftalmia (1,4 por 10.000 nacidos vivos) y los colobomas (1,3 por 10.000 nacidos vivos). El 40 % de los DOC se presentaron de forma aislada, 37% pertenecían a un síndrome y 23% se asociaban a otras anomalías congénitas no sindrómicas. Conclusiones: La prevalencia total de los DOC durante este periodo en Asturias fue estable siendo las cataratas congénitas el DOC más frecuente. Más de la mitad de los DOC, en especial la anoftalmia/microftalmia se asociaron a otras malformaciones congénitas (AU)
Introduction: Congenital ocular anomalies (COAs) can produce serious disability. Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to assess the prevalence of COAs, their trends and to describe the associated malformations and syndromes in a geographically defined population. Method: Data from the Asturias Registry of Congenital Defects were used. The period studied was from 1990 to 2004 and the study population the 103,452 births of mothers living in the region. Total prevalence was calculated. Results: A total of 3035 cases with congenital defects were recorded, of these 70 had COAs. The total prevalence was 6.8 per 10000 births, with a stable trend during this period. The most common COAs were: congenital cataract (2.0 per 10000 births), anophthalmos/microphthalmos (1.4 per 10000 births) and coloboma (1.3 per 10000 births). 40% of COAs occurred as isolated defects, 37% were syndromes and 23% were associated with other congenital defects. Conclusions: The prevalence of COAs in Asturias over this period had a stable trend and the congenital cataract was the commonest COAs. COAs, particularly the anophthalmos/microphthalmos were associated with other congenital anomalies (AU)

En el servicio de Oftalmología del Complejo Hospitalario `Daniel Alcides Carrión' del Callao, entre los años 1981 y 1983 han sido estudiados 7 casos portadores del síndrome Hallerman-Streiff-Francois. Este síndrome está caracterizado por discefalia con cara de pájaro, anomalías dentales, nanismo proporcionado, hipotricosis, atrofia de piel, microftalmía y catarata congénita bilateral. De ellos, 2 casos asistieron espontáneamente al servicio, 4 proceden del Centro de Educación Especial ` San Francisco de Asís', 1 procedente del centro de Educación Especial `Santa Lucía'. Estos dos últimos centros educativos están dedicados a la enseñanza de niños con ceguera y visión subnormal. En todos ellos se ha practicado examen clínico general y estudio oftalmológico, prestando especial atención a los antecedentes personales y familiares
