Posterior polar cataract is a rare form of congenital cataract. It is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant disease, yet it can be sporadic. Five genes have been attributed to the formation of this disease. It is highly associated with complications during surgery, such as posterior capsule rupture and nucleus drop. The reason for this high complication rate is the strong adherence of the opacity to the weak posterior capsule. Different surgical strategies were described for the handling of this challenging entity, most of which emphasized the need for gentle maneuvering in dealing with these cases. It has a unique clinical appearance that should not be missed in order to anticipate, avoid, and minimize the impact of the complications associated with it.
后极性白内障是一种罕见的先天性白内障形式。它通常作为常染色体显性疾病遗传,但也可能是散发性的。已有五个基因被认为与该疾病的形成有关。它与手术期间的并发症高度相关,如后囊破裂和核脱入。这种高并发症发生率的原因是混浊物与薄弱的后囊紧密粘连。针对处理这一具有挑战性的病症描述了不同的手术策略,其中大多数强调在处理这些病例时需要轻柔操作。它具有独特的临床表现,为了预测、避免并尽量减少与之相关的并发症的影响,不应忽视这一表现。
