Abstract

An infant with a congenital giant hairy nevus causing occlusion of the visual axis of the right eye is presented. The nevus was removed at the early age of three weeks because of concern that the child would develop deprivation amblyopia. Since such nevi can undergo malignant changes, early removal may be justified for that reason alone.

摘要

本文报告了一名患有先天性巨大毛痣并导致右眼视轴阻塞的婴儿。由于担心患儿会发展为剥夺性弱视，该痣在三周龄时就被切除。由于此类痣可能会发生恶变，仅出于这个原因，早期切除也是合理的。
