Clinical features of posterior microphthalmos associated with papillomacular fold and high hyperopia

Abstract

Posterior microphthalmos is a developmental arrest of ocular growth. In addition to high hyperopia and retinal papillomacular folds, various types of esotropia, optic disc hypoplasia and neurosensory retinal detachment may accompany posterior microphthalmos. In particular, children with posterior microphthalmos require early appropriate management of the high refractive error and resultant esotropia.
