This study presents two rare cases of posterior lentiglobe, a lens anomaly. Good vision is achievable, but surgical intervention may be needed if visual acuity is compromised.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Anatomic Pathology

Context:

  • Posterior lentiglobe is a rare lens anomaly.
  • Excentric protuberance of the posterior capsule is an extremely rare presentation.
  • Limited existing literature on this specific condition.

Purpose:

  • To present two unique cases of excentric posterior lentiglobe.
  • To discuss differential diagnoses including persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous and vitreous cysts.
  • To outline management strategies for visual impairment.

Summary:

  • Two pediatric cases of posterior lentiglobe are described.
  • One patient had good visual acuity; the other had reduced vision due to esotropia and cataract.
  • Differential diagnoses included persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous and vitreous cyst.

Impact:

  • Highlights the possibility of good vision in posterior lentiglobe.
  • Emphasizes the need for lens removal and optical correction (contact lenses, intraocular lenses) when visual acuity is impaired.
  • Contributes to the limited understanding of this rare ocular anomaly.
