Purpose: To report viscodelamination of localized retrolental plaques during lens-sparing vitrectomy in eyes with pediatric tractional vitreoretinopathy.
Methods: Viscodelamination of retrolental plaques was performed during 23-gauge lens-sparing vitrectomy in 11 eyes from 11 children with a median age (range) of 12 (4-58) months. There were five eyes with Stage 4 familial exudative vitreoretinopathy, one eye with Stage 4B retinopathy of prematurity, and five eyes with anterior-posterior persistent fetal vasculature syndrome. Retrolental plaques were separated from the posterior lens capsule by the tension of viscoelastic injection in the Berger's space.
Results: In 10 of 11 eyes, retrolental plaques were removed from posterior surface of lens without capsular tearing. During the 12-month to 18-month follow-up period, lens clarity along the visual axis was retained in 5 eyes with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy, one eye with retinopathy of prematurity, and 2 of 5 eyes with persistent fetal vasculature. Atraumatic viscodelamination was associated with retrolental plaques that did not incorporate into the posterior lens capsule. Retinal dragging was reversed in all 11 eyes.
Conclusion: Viscodelamination may be effective for the dissection of retrolental plaques related to pediatric vitreoretinopathy in selected cases.

Purpose: To describe a novel case of Norrie disease and X-linked Kabuki syndrome caused by a microdeletion encompassing multiple genes on the X chromosome.
Observations: A 3-day-old boy born at full term had bilateral retrolental fibrovascular plaques. Surgery with lensectomy and vitrectomy revealed bilateral, closed funnel retinal detachments consistent with a clinical diagnosis of Norrie disease.

Background: Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS) is a rare, inherited multi-systemic malformation syndrome characterized by a combination of aplasia cutis congenita and transverse terminal limb defects along with variable involvement of the central nervous system, eyes, and cardiovascular system. AOS can be inherited as both autosomal-dominant and recessive traits. Pathogenic variants in the , and genes have been associated with AOS.

Department of Ophthalmology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, 188 Shizi Street, Suzhou, 215006, People's Republic of China.
Background: Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) is a rare congenital developmental ocular disorder caused by incomplete regression of the embryonic hyaloid vasculature. Here we report a case of nonsurgical unilateral anterior PHPV that was managed by amblyopia treatment and resulted in an improvement of visual acuity and regression of the fetal vasculature.
Case Presentation: A three-year-old girl was diagnosed with unilateral anterior PHPV in the left eye, manifested with posterior pole cataract, posterior capsule opacification, tunica vasculosa lentis, and a floating hyaloid artery connected to the retrolental mass.
