Cataracts associated with inborn errors of metabolism: a diagnostic aid
Metabolic, Pediatric, and Systemic Ophthalmology (New York, N.Y. : 1985)
|January 1, 1991
Abstract:
Inborn errors of metabolism are a substantial field of medicine. Although genetic syndromes associated with cataracts are rare, they are important since early detection and effective treatment of visual handicaps is one of the most urgent duties of any practitioner and pediatrician. Cooperation among pediatricians, ophthalmologists, orthoptists and geneticists, as well as the institution of a high-risk registry for visual handicaps appears to be of paramount importance.
