Visual manifestations of craniofrontonasal dysplasia

J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2007 Jul-Aug;44(4):251-4. doi: 10.3928/01913913-20070701-08.

Abstract

In this sample of craniofrontonasal dysplasia, a 44.4% prevalence of visual impairment was observed, with more than half being due to potentially correctable causes of visual loss, including amblyopia and anisometropia. High prevalences of strabismus (88.9%) and V-pattern (55.5%) in craniofrontonasal dysplasia were also demonstrated. All three patients who underwent strabismus surgery showed improvement in ocular alignment postoperatively. This group needs regular eye examinations to assess for visual impairment and provide timely intervention for modifiable causes of visual loss.
