    Summary

    Pars plana vitrectomy effectively manages congenital cataracts like persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV). This technique achieved a clear pupillary space in all seven eyes, with two gaining useful vision.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Pediatric Eye Care

    Background:

    • Congenital cataracts, particularly persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV), present complex management challenges in pediatric ophthalmology.
    • Traditional surgical approaches may have limitations in addressing the specific anatomical and pathological features of PHPV.
    • The need for effective surgical strategies to restore vision in affected children is critical.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of pars plana vitrectomy in managing complicated congenital cataracts, specifically persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV).
    • To assess the feasibility and outcomes of closed-eye vitrectomy techniques applied through a limbal approach for PHPV.
    • To discuss the broader implications for managing challenging pediatric cataract cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of closed-eye vitrectomy techniques.
    • Surgical approach through the limbus.
    • Inclusion of seven pediatric eyes diagnosed with persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV).

    Main Results:

    • Successful achievement of a clear pupillary space in all seven treated eyes.
    • Two eyes attained useful postoperative vision, indicating potential for visual recovery.
    • The pars plana vitrectomy approach was demonstrated as a viable option for this condition.

    Conclusions:

    • Pars plana vitrectomy is a suitable surgical option for selected complicated congenital cataracts, including PHPV.
    • Closed-eye vitrectomy via a limbal approach can effectively clear the visual axis in PHPV cases.
    • This technique offers a promising avenue for improving visual outcomes in children with challenging congenital cataracts.
