Surgical Outcomes of Children with Unilateral Congenital Cataract and Persistent Fetal Vasculature
Congenital cataract with PHV without anterior segment pathology associated with best postoperative VA, while eyes with anterior segment pathology or a complex posterior segment pathology had poor visual prognosis. Case selection for surgery is considered of great importance, since sympathetic ophthalmia may occur postoperatively. Understanding more deeply pathogenesis of PFV is warranted.
