A complete eye examination is important to determine if glaucoma or other eye disease is present. In severe cases, a corneal transplant can improve vision, and, of course, it is important to treat glaucoma if present. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

We present a child with an MCA pattern of sclerocornea, hypertelorism, pterygium colli, upper limb syndactyly, ambiguous genitalia, abnormal ears and nose, umbilical hernia, congenital heart disease, and normal chromosomes (46,XX). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment Treatment Options: Severe cases in which the central media is compromised may require corneal transplantation. Glaucoma requires treatment as well. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

In most of our patients, the diagnostic process was underway, but in one patient 22q11.2 deletion was not suspected until after the child had already been undergoing treatment for sclerocornea for 2 years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment includes correction of the refractive error but in cases of central corneal opacification keratoplasty may be indicated. sclerocornea the sclera and cornea regarded as one. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Diagnosis and Prognosis: The disorder is suspected when simple inspection reveals loss of corneal clarity. Only an eye specialist can determine if this is sclerocornea and not another disorder such as congenital glaucoma. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

What is the visual prognosis like in CAS? What are our responsibilities in treating a patient with CAS? try not to let the eye dry out too much make sure the eye isn't hurting. [studyblue.com]

Treatment: Penetrating keratoplasty has been performed for central corneal involvement but some authors feel the visual prognosis is probably not sufficient to warrant the procedure. [missionforvisionusa.org]

A developmental anomaly with various manifestation and associated with other ocular abnormalities would appear to be the etiology. One of the cases also had extrophia vesicae, an association that has not been previously described. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiologically, all these cases are presumably developmental as maternal and obstetric histories were normal in all cases. [healio.com]

Etiology: Approximately one half the cases are stated to be familial; autosomal dominant and recessive patterns of inheritance have been described. The other ½ of cases are sporadic. [missionforvisionusa.org]

Dense opacification of both corneas prevented adequate examination of both anterior and posterior segments of the eye. UBM was performed preoperatively with subsequent corneal transplantation of the left eye. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
