Article Synopsis
- - Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder linked to issues in the formation of endochondral bone, which can lead to various physical abnormalities.
- - The case presented includes unique eye features in a patient, such as telecanthus, esotropia, and bilateral microphthalmos.

Eye (Lond)
October 2024
Eye Hospital and School of Ophthalmology and Optometry, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates postoperative outcomes and axial length growth in infants with congenital cataracts and microphthalmos who underwent cataract surgery.
- It compares two groups: one with microphthalmos and a control group, revealing a higher incidence of glaucoma in the microphthalmos group and slower axial length growth compared to controls.
- Early surgery improved visual function for both groups, but infants with microphthalmos experienced more complications despite similar visual acuity improvements.

Congenital arhinia is a rare anomaly characterized by a syndrome called Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome. A 22-year-old woman with a history of congenital arhinia presented with bilateral discharge and enlarged bilateral lacrimal sacs, with imaging consistent with bilateral dacryocystoceles and complete absence of nasal structures. This is the first case in the literature that describes surgical management of bilateral dacryocystoceles in a patient with Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome.
