Optical imaging of nanophthalmos associated with papillomacular folds and narrow anterior chamber

Abstract

Nanophthalmos is a rare condition presented with a short axial length and relatively normal anterior segment findings. Evaluation with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical biometer will be helpful in the diagnosis and determination of the associated sight threatening clinical findings in nanophthalmos cases. A 5 years old female presented with high hypermetropia, astigmatism and decreased visual acuity. Evaluation with a complete ophthalmological examination including OCT and swept source optical biometer yielded short axial length, horizontal papillomacular folds, narrow anterior chamber angle with normal intraocular pressure and anterior chamber depth. Detailed examination, proper noncontact anterior and posterior segment OCT and swept source optic biometer evaluations are mandatory and are easy tools to reach accurate diagnosis and to detect potential complications of nanophthalmos cases even in a child. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
