Surgical outcomes of cataract surgery in anterior and combined persistent fetal vasculature using a novel surgical technique: A single center, prospective study

Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology Aug 20, 2020

Khurana S, Ram J, Singh R, et al. - Researchers conducted this prospective study to analyze the complications and surgical outcomes of cataract surgery in patients of persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) with cataract. Phacoaspiration with/without intraocular lens implantation (IOL) was performed in 20 children (mean age 14.2 months) with unilateral cataract with anterior (n = 6) or combined (n = 14) PFV. The CSM (central, steady, maintained) fixation was observed after 18 months in 16 patients. In the study, timely surgical intervention and aggressive amblyopia therapy resulted in good visual results. Poor prognosis was observed in combined PFV, aphakia, and microphthalmia. Neither glaucoma nor retinal detachment formed in any of the patients.
