Abstract
We report a case of spontaneous cataract absorption over a period of 19weeks in a 5-week-old boy with trisomy 21. Ultrasound biomicroscopy images at 5 and 24weeks of age showed that 71% of the initial lens thickness was absorbed during this period. At surgery, the lens thickness was 0.92mm in the right eye and 0.91mm in the left eye. Uncomplicated cataract extraction was performed. Trypan blue staining revealed an area of possible lens leakagethrough the anterior lens capsule in the left eye, suggesting a mechanism for cataract absorption.
