- Abstract
This article discusses the prenatal diagnosis of a rare combination of ocular abnormalities: bilateral congenital cataracts with strabismus. Congenital cataracts are a progressive condition that can lead to vision loss, and they can be caused by disruptions in the development of the lens during gestation. Strabismus is a vision disorder characterized by misalignment of the eyes. The article explains that these conditions can be diagnosed through prenatal ultrasound, and early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for optimal visual outcomes. The article also mentions the importance of genetic testing and a multidisciplinary approach involving pediatric ophthalmology and genetic counseling.
