Effect of unilateral congenital cataract surgery on ocular axial length growth and corneal flattening.

Objective: The aim of this article is to study the effect of unilateral congenital cataract surgery on ocular growth and corneal flattening.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 59 patients operated on due to a unilateral congenital cataract. The median age of the patients at the time of diagnosis was 17 months (interquartile range, 5-39 months).

[Assessment of intra-operative techniques to prevent visual axis opacification in congenital cataract surgery].

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of various surgical procedures in the management of posterior capsule and anterior vitreous on the prevention of visual axis opacification.

Subjects, Material And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 120 eyes operated for unilateral congenital cataracts, with a median age at the time of cataract surgery of 21 months (interquartile range, 6-52 months). The eyes were divided into 3 groups: group 1 (eyes with intact posterior capsule, n=39), group 2 (eyes with posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, n=38), group 3 (eyes with posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and anterior vitrectomy, n=43).

Long-term follow-up of the corneal endothelium after pediatric cataract surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term effects on corneal endothelium after pediatric cataract surgery.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 58 eyes operated for unilateral pediatric cataract with a mean age at the time of cataract surgery of 38.2 ± 41.

[Radioimmunometric assay of neuron specific enolase in aqueous humor and serum in patients with retinoblastoma].

Introduction: Retinoblastomas (RB) are the most common malignant intraocular tumors in childhood. The neuron specific enolase (NSE) is used as a tumor marker in different malignant diseases (mainly in neuroblastomas and lung carcinoma of small cells). In this work we report our experience using NSE and the role we consider that it plays in the determination of this enzyme in RB cases.
