Abstract
Purpose. to study the clinical and anatomical features of congenital anophthalmus in children, indication and timing of prosthetic orbit. Material and methods. 17 children with congenital anophthalmus aged 1 - 6 month were examined. Routine ophthalmological examination, ultrasound diagnostic including the measurements of axial length of the rudiment of the eye, if available, and B-scan, the computed tomography (CT) scan of the orbit and cranium, immunological investigations with serological infectious disease testing were performed in all patients. Results and discussion. Based on the complex examination we determined types of congenital anophthalmus in children. The step method prosthesis for the symmetric growth of bones and orbital tissues and cosmetic rehabilitation was developed. The indications and contraindications for ocular prosthesis in children with congenital anophthalmus were identified.
