Nanoftalmos: relato de caso

Abstract

To report a case of nanophthalmos, its clinical characteristics and calculation of intraocular lens power. A case report of a patient attended at the Ultrasonography Sector of the Federal University of São Paulo. The patient presented a reduced axial diameter in both eyes approximate (transpalpebral measure of 14 mm), shallow anterior chamber and narrow angle seen by gonioscopy and also detected on ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). The patient presented scleral thickening, optic disc drusen and angleclosure glaucoma in both eyes. Nanophthalmos and primary microphthalmia are rare and not always bilateral. The patients should be followed-up due to complications. The calculations of intraocular lens power is difficult because of the decreased axial diameter.
