Morphological Aspect and Management of Pediatric Cataract in Treacher Collins Syndrome

The morphological aspect of lens opacification in a 13-year-old patient with Treacher Collins Syndrome was discussed. The outcome of the cataract surgical treatment was presented. Initial visual acuity was 20/200 at the right eye and 20/100 at the left eye. A lamellar opacification of the lens, as bananatree- leaves-shaped cataracts, were observed in both eyes. Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation was performed. Final visual acuity was 20/30 in both eyes. Cataract is a rare feature in Treacher Collins Syndrome and the lens opacity morphology detected in this patient was very unique.
