dc.description.abstract | Objective: To describe the prevalence of congenital anophthalmia and microphthalmia in
Hospital Universitario La Paz, and to identify associated risk factors and evaluate cosmetic
results in treated and nontreated patients.
Methods: A retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study of patients treated with orbital
expanding techniques (cases) and nontreated patients (controls) was carried out as a comparative
case series study. A total of 36 patients with unilateral or bilateral anophthalmia or microphthalmia
as main diagnosis were included; 52 epidemiological and management variables for each
patient were analyzed. The study evaluated orbital growth and facial symmetry.
Results: The overall cosmetic result in the study’s group of patients was satisfactory: 66.7%
showed good or very good orbital growth, and 75% showed good or very good facial symmetry.
Controls had better cosmetic outcome but showed more cataracts (P = 0.05), inferior colobomas
(P = 0.026), and family history (P = 0.056) than the cases. Controls also showed significantly
better orbital growth (P = 0.042) and facial symmetry (P = 0.014) than the cases.
Conclusion: This study suggests that the mere presence of a globe (controls) still provides
better orbitofacial development than the artificial stimulation (cases) currently available for
patients with congenital anophthalmia and microphthalmia, who receive internal and external
orbital rehabilitation | en_US |
