Современные методы диагностики аномалии Петерса

Abstract

Peters anomaly is a rare disease, significant in its consequences and leading to disability. According to the literature, Peters anomaly was recorded in approximately 700 cases in Russia, and around the world about 35,000 people have various forms of this pathology. The main cause of occurrence is the presence of a genetic mutation. The disease has a variety of phenotypic manifestations, differently interpreted by the authors depending on the research methods used and clinical experience. An important step in determining the optimal tactics and timing of surgical intervention for Peters anomaly is a thorough diagnostic examination of the child. The data presented in the literature indicate that optical coherence tomography and ultrasound biomicroscopy are highly informative research methods for corneal opacity. Their data are indispensable in making the correct diagnosis of Peters anomaly, determining the subtype and severity of the process, as well as choosing further tactics for managing patients. An urgent direction for further research is the identification of informative signs of Peters anomaly using modern research methods, the development of a complex of multimodal algorithms for multifaceted diagnostics in establishing a diagnosis, as well as the development of a systematic approach in determining subtypes, choosing tactics for managing and treating this pathology.
