The aim of this article is to describe visual outcomes and posterior rehabilitation of the first Usher syndrome type II (USH2) patient receiving an Argus II (®) prosthesis.
We present a case of a USH2 patient who underwent Argus II prosthesis surgery at the age of 53. He had hearing loss from birth and presented a very poor visual field with good light perception. He communicated through sign language translated by his interpreter, who explained all the information regarding the surgical procedure and who assisted in the posterior visual therapy. Sixteen months after surgery, the patient communicates more fluently with sign language and is able to identify letters with high contrast over 6 cm and words up to four letters.
This is the first case described in the literature of a USH2 patient receiving an Argus II prosthesis This is an alternative treatment for USH2 patients, whose interpreters are essential in the selection process and subsequent rehabilitation after surgery.
本文旨在描述首例接受阿格斯II型（®）假体植入的II型Usher综合征（USH2）患者的视觉效果及术后康复情况。
我们报告了一例USH2患者，该患者53岁时接受了阿格斯II型假体植入手术。他自出生起就有听力损失，视野非常差，但光感良好。他通过手语交流，由翻译进行翻译，翻译解释了所有关于手术过程的信息，并协助进行术后视觉治疗。术后16个月，患者能用手语更流畅地交流，能够识别对比度高的6厘米以上的字母以及最多四个字母的单词。
这是文献中描述的首例接受阿格斯II型假体植入的USH2患者。这是USH2患者的一种替代治疗方法，其翻译在手术选择过程及后续康复中至关重要。
