Presentation
So nystagmus usually is present in a child, presenting with bilateral cataracts. [cybersight.org]
May have many different presentations, such as cerulean cataracts, anterior polar cataracts, or many others. [optometrystudents.com]
Presentation Posterior polar cataract presents as a distinctive discoid lens opacity situated posteriorly, adjacent to the posterior capsule. [emedicine.medscape.com]
A comparison of anterior polar cataract and PSC is presented in Table 1. [aibolita.com]
At present the only indications of ICCE is markedly subluxated and dislocated lens. [umedico.com]

Long Arm
Map of the linked region of the long arm of chromosome 15 showing markers and genes of interest located between 64 and 75 Mb. Heavy vertical line : critical region of the locus for keratoconus with cataract. [iovs.arvojournals.org]
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]

[…] syndrome, with affected males presenting with dense visually significant cataracts. 20 Investigations Although 60% of pediatric cataracts are idiopathic, 40 based on the antenatal history, family history, and the type of cataract, a baseline laboratory workup [dovepress.com]
Treatment
Treatment Treatment Options: Cataract removal and penetrating keratoplasty can be helpful. It is unknown whether the donor corneal tissue develops similar opacities. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
This cataract doesn’t affect vision and doesn’t require treatment. The complete cataract In this type of cataract, all the transparent lens fibers are opacified. This cataract can be unilateral or bilateral. [cataractsurgerycost.net]
With advances in treatment, your child can have an enhanced visual outcomeand safe treatment. Cataracts are a part of aging. [cataractsurgery.co.in]
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]
Because onset is usually after the fixation reflex has been established, patients with lamellar cataracts have a better visual prognosis than patients with cataracts of earlier onset. Figure 23-3 Lamellar cataract. [entokey.com]
Post-operative complications- Lesser the post-operative complication better the cataract prognosis. Cataract prognosis varies from eye to eye and person to person. Moreover most of the factors are controllable and results are achievable. [cataractsurgery.co.in]
Outcome and prognosis of pediatric patients with delayed diagnosis of open-globe injuries. [sjopthal.net]
The visual prognosis is very poor. Environmental causes include toxins, maternal infections, and diseases, radiation, diet, or other factors affecting the mother during pregnancy. [healio.com]
Etiology
[…] ring (CTR) with or without Cionni modification IOL in bag – mild cases aided by CTR/Cionni ring Iris fixated posterior or anterior IOL Angle supported IOL Sulcus sutured posterior chamber IOL Contact lens or spectacles Intumescent Cortical Cataract Etiology [medrounds.org]
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
The Framingham Eye Study did not specifically address the incidence of posterior polar cataracts as a separate group. [8] Other studies focused on incidence and etiology and nutrition. [9, 10] Etiology A posterior subcapsular cataract is a distinctive [emedicine.medscape.com]
Investigation of the molecular etiology of a distinct a nterior p olar c ataract (APC) in HHCS was undertaken. [iovs.arvojournals.org]
So this repeated question on etiology… Etiology and causes of pediatric cataracts in general — that is a question. See, most of the pediatric cataracts which we see are idiopathic. [cybersight.org]
Epidemiology

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology A posterior polar cataract has an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Future directions Despite the better understanding of pathophysiology of visual maturation in children and advancements in surgical technology and instrumentation, childhood cataract remains a challenge to pediatric ophthalmologists. [dovepress.com]
Prevention
The sides of the main incision were marginally extended to prevent any undesirable globe deformation during IOL implantation. [crstodayeurope.com]
Benefits of Cataract Treatment : Prevents blindness. Prevents accidents due to decreased vision. [cataractsurgery.co.in]
Viscoelastic should be injected through the side port before removing the phaco or I/A probe to prevent forward movement of the lens-iris diaphragm. [eurotimes.org]
To prevent posterior capsular rupture, Osher et al1 recommended using slow-motion phacoemulsification with a low aspiration flow rate, a low level of vacuum, and infusion pressure. [crstoday.com]
Early detection and treatment could prevent vision loss. See an eye care professional right away if you have a sudden change in vision, if everything looks dim, or if you see flashes of light. [icdlist.com]
