[Posterior segment changes in microphthalmic eyes: case report].
Microphthalmos is a developmental ocular disorder defined as a small eyeball. The condition can be associated with abnormalities of anterior and posterior segments. The most common anterior characteristics include corneal opacities, angle-closure and a shallow anterior chamber and cataract. The main findings of posterior segment are uveal effusion, retinal folds, abnormalities of macular capillar vascularization, absence of foveal depression and peripheral retinoschisis. Three patients with microphthalmos were assisted and their OCT features of posterior segment were analyzed. The first case had uveal effusion syndrome, choroidal and retinal detachment treated with parcial sclerectomy at the four quadrants. The other case presented with neurosensory retinal fold at fovea and papillomacular area in both eyes without involvement of retinal pigment epithelium layer and choriocapillaris. The third patient showed absence of foveal depression. The main diferencial diagnosis for this condition is foveal hypoplasia.
