Extractions: The information provided in this Resource Guide was developed by the National Eye Institute to help patients and their families in searching for general information about anophthalmia and microphthalmia . An eye care professional who has examined the patient's eyes and is familiar with his or her medical history is the best person to answer specific questions. Anophthalmos and microphthalmos, small eye syndrome. Anophthalmia and microphthalmia are often used interchangeably. Microphthalmia is a disorder in which one or both eyes are abnormally small, while anophthalmia is the absence of one or both eyes. These rare disorders develop during pregnancy and can be associated with other birth defects. What causes anophthalmia and microphthalmia?
USCAP - 91st Annual Meeting History Eye removed postmortem from a female infant of 33 weeks gestationwith multiple congenital anomalies and apparent anophthalmos. http://www.uscap.org/91st/optcase07.htm
Extractions: There is parakeratosis of the corneal epithelium. Bowman's membrane is absent and there is scarring of the anterior stroma. Blood vessels are present in the anterior and mid-stroma. Descemet's membrane has formed but the trabecular meshwork is not recognizable. Both iris leaflets are markedly hypoplastic. The lens occupies much of the globe and there is posterior migration of the subcapsular epithelium with formation of bladder cells and also Morgagnian globules. There is a cyst of the pigmented ciliary epithelium on one side with posterior displacement of the ciliary processes. At the ora serrata non-pigmented ciliary epithelium is hyperplastic and has been drawn inwards behind the lens in a fibrovascular membrane. Between this membrane and the folded, dysplastic retina there is hemorrhage. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) shows focal reduplication. The sclera is unremarkable.

Extractions: Protocol Number: 01-HG-0094 Molecular Analysis of Microphthalmia/Anophthalmia 01-HG-0094 This study will try to learn more about the genetic cause and symptoms of microphthalmia (small eyes) or anophthalmia (absence of one or both eyes). Patients with microphthalmia or anophthalmia with mental retardation may be eligible for this study. Patients' parents and siblings will also be included for genetic studies. Patients may participate in both the clinical and laboratory parts of the study or just the laboratory part, as described below: Laboratory The laboratory study consists of DNA analysis to determine the genetic cause of microphthalmia/anophthalmia. The DNA sample is obtained using one of the following methods: -Blood draw - for young children, a numbing cream is applied to the skin before the needlestick to decrease the pain -Skin biopsy - a small piece of skin (about 1/8-inch in diameter) is removed surgically after the area has been numbed with an anesthetic -Cotton swab - a specimen is collected from inside the cheek using a cotton swab. This is done only for patients who cannot provide a blood or skin sample.

Extractions: You've spent minutes on Ophthalmic Hyperguide Implants can be integrated or nonintegrated. Nonintegrated implants have no direct attachments to the extraocular muscles and are usually inert spheres of silicone or methylmethacrylate, placed in Tenon's capsule within the muscle cone, deep to anterior Tenon's fascia and conjunctiva. The rectus muscles may be sutured together anterior to the implant.

Extractions: You've spent minutes on Ophthalmic Hyperguide The development of the lacrimal drainage system begins at approximately 6 week's gestation. Canalization of the ectodermal cord begins during the third month in the area of the medial canthus. Canalization progresses toward the eyelid margin and toward the inferior meatus. The lacrimal puncta normally opens with eyelid separation during the seventh month of gestation. The distal lacrimal drainage system may not become patent until birth or shortly after birth. Blockage of the nasolacrimal system typically occurs in the distal portion where the tear duct opens into the nose beneath the inferior turbinate (Hasner valve). Because tears are not normally produced until a few weeks after birth, blockage of the lacrimal duct may not be recognized until several weeks after birth. Only about 1% to 6% of infants have symptomatic nasolacrimal duct obstruction. However, the majority of cases resolve by 1 year of age.

Extractions: Etiology Anophthalmia can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired later in life. Congenital anophthalmia can occur alone or along with other birth defects. Cases of anophthalmia may result from inherited genetic mutations, sporadic genetic mutations, chromosome abnormalities, prenatal environmental insult or unknown. born without eye. (Anophthalmia is very rare but the exact incidence is unknown. One report from a prospective study of 50,000 newborns found an incidence of microphthalmia of 0.22 per 1,000 live births) trauma infection tumor (such as retinoblastoma, choroidal malignant melanoma) advanced ocular disease (corneal disease, advanced resistant glaucoma)

Extractions: "The Security Council began to streamline its vetting procedures in March 2000, when the total value of blocked contracts stood at about 1.7 billion dollars. In his letter, Sevan said a total of 1,854 contracts were now on hold, worth a total 4.956 billion dollars. They included orders for 4.28 billion dollars worth of humanitarian supplies and for 676 million dollars worth of oil industry equipment." - from 'UN alarmed by contract blocking of Iraq oil-for-food programme,' reported by Agence France Press, 9th January 2002 "In 30 years in Washington I've never seen anything quite like it. They're being treated like enemies because of a policy disagreement." - Richard Perle, US Defense Policy Board Chairman and reiterated by former CIA Director James Woolsey, quoted in the Wall Street Journal, 10th January 2002 Perle was describing the US State Deptartment decision to suspend funding to the INC citing financial irregularities. The INC (Iraqi National Congress - in opposition to Saddam Hussein) had been pledged $97 million and were given a January 15th 2002 deadline to produce accounts. The State Department announcement came 10 days ahead of schedule. The INC informed them that undercover sources in Iraq would be compromised by full disclosure.

Extractions: Like any 2-year-old, Jacob Johnson has a bunch of bright white baby teeth, which he flashes frequently in a big smile. However, Jacob might never have been able to smile with his eyes, as well, had he not come to the Kellogg Eye Center for correction of a birth defect that left him without eyes. Last December, Christine C. Nelson, M.D., FACS, Associate Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, performed surgery that will one day enable Jacob to flash his baby blues along with his smile. Jacob was born with a rare condition called anophthalmos While blindness cannot be helped, disfigurement can be essentially eliminated by the use of carefully created prosthetic eyes that are produced by an ocularist, a person who combines artistry and engineering. The ocularist works closely with the ophthalmologist and the patient to create life-like artificial eyes that fit and move comfortably within the sockets. In order to prepare for a cosmetically pleasing prosthesis, it is critical to stimulate the socket early so that it can enlarge to accommodate a series of artificial eyes as the baby moves through childhood. Experts advise that such a prosthesis must be in place by the age of two.
