Anterior pyramidal cataract may dislocate spontaneously and present as an anterior chamber foreign body and may even lead to corneal endothelial cell loss. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Their genetic status resulted in partial trisomy of the long arm of chromosome 3 and partial monosomy of the short arm of chromosome 18. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Here we report the identification of a new locus for an autosomal dominant anterior polar cataract on the short arm of chromosome 17. [digital.csic.es]
- Long Arm
Their genetic status resulted in partial trisomy of the long arm of chromosome 3 and partial monosomy of the short arm of chromosome 18. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We also excluded the cerulean cataract locus on 17q24 using marker D17S802 ( Z = 3.27 @ θ = 0.05), thereby excluding the known cataract and crystallin loci on the long arm of chromosome 17. [academic.oup.com]

Finally, our patients did not have corneal topography performed, so differentiation of lenticular from corneal astigmatism could not be made. [benthamopen.com]
After microkeratome-assisted removal of the anterior stromal layers, the presence of residual corneal opacities as well as their extent may be confirmed by the iOCT. [ijo.in]

Congenital Cataract Treatment Congenital cataracts that are small and do not affect vision may not require treatment. If cataracts affect vision or appear in only one eye, cataract removal surgery may be necessary. [pediatricretinoblastoma.com]
Prognosis
Seven other patients had additional ocular pathology which affected their visual prognosis. One patient manifested progressive lens opacification that eventually warranted cataract surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The positive atoll sign will have more favorable prognosis since posterior capsule is intact, hence posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation will be more feasible with better visual prognosis. [jcor.in]
