Abstract
- Complicated microphthalmos can be diagnosed when a reduction in global dimension is combined with other structural anomalies. These include corneal opacity or staphyloma, cataract, aniridia, corectopia, persistence of pupillary membrane or the tunica vasculosa lentis and hyaloid vessel, thickening or ossification of the choroid and various retinal anomalies. Complicated microphthalmos is frequently hereditary and the transmission may be either as an autosomal dominant or recessive or as a sex linked recessive trait. Four cases of bilateral complicated microphthalmos with cataract were found in a family.
