[Clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of congenital anophthalmos].
This study was aimed at elucidating the diagnostic potentialities of computer-aided tomography (CAT) in congenital micro- and anophthalmia. Twenty-five young patients with various clinical manifestation of this abnormality were examined. Used in complex with the traditional diagnostic methods, CAT played the key role. It permitted imaging the entire complex of changes in the orbit and its contents, which helped choose adequate therapeutic measures. Surgical treatment was proven to be little effective or useless at all in cases with a more than 4 cm3 deficit of the orbital volume on the involved side; contrary to this, early staged fitting with prostheses is effective and creates favorable conditions for subsequent surgical correction in a less than 4 cm3 deficit of the volume.
