Congenital corneal staphyloma: clinical, radiological, and pathological correlation.

Abstract: SUMMARY A 2-year-old child was referred because of a prominent blind left eye with an opaque cornea. Although extraocular extension of a retinoblastoma was an initial diagnostic possibility, computed tomography (CT) showed only a large globe with a corneal staphyloma. Because of the cosmetically unacceptable appearance the involved eye was enucleated. The clinical, CT, and histopathological features of congenital corneal staphyloma are discussed, as well as the possible pathogenic mechanisms.

“…We also reviewed the classification of ASD 3,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]15,17,18 and compared the diagnosis of both eyes of patients with Peters anomaly in 1 eye to study ASD overlap. [19][20][21] …”

“…[6][7][8] We tried to excise the protruding mass remaining from the cornea and to fit a prosthesis onto the remaining eyeball. However, the cornea remaining after excision of the mass was so thin and protruding so much that the fitting of a prosthesis was considered to be impossible and would have posed a high risk of perforation.…”

“…Die beschriebenen Befunde sprechen dafür, dass die Separation der Linse von der Hornhaut bei dieser Fehlbildung grundsätzlich gestört ist. Nur ausnahmsweise scheint es zu einer weitgehend normalen Linsendifferenzierung zu kommen [16,27]. Wie mittels der Ki-67-Immunhistologie gezeigt werden konnte, ist aber zumindest eine eingeschränkte Regeneration des Hornhautepithels möglich.…”

“…Interessanterweise fand Krükow [15] Hornhautstaphylom unter Umständen der Maximalvariante einer Peters-Anomalie [1,2,16,20,25] und würde in den Formenkreis der Anterior-Chamber-Cleavage-Syndrome fallen [22]. Zumindest bei einem Patienten war ein HVMS auf der einen Seite mit einer Peters'schen Anomalie auf der anderen Seite vergesellschaftet [20].…”
