- Abstract
This article, published in the journal "Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology," examines the frequency of microphthalmia and anophthalmia, rare malformations related to severe central nervous system malformations, in a tertiary center. The study reviewed 2,231 fetal MRI cases from April 2004 to February 2023 and found that 19 cases of microphthalmia-anophthalmia were diagnosed during this period, accounting for 1.17% of fetal MRI examinations. The most common form of the malformation was bilateral, with 79% of cases, and the majority of cases with bilateral malformation had severe holoprosencephaly. The study concludes that microphthalmia-anophthalmia is a rare condition, with the bilateral form being the most frequent, and severe central nervous system malformations being the most common associated malformation.
