Clinical characteristics and ultrasound biomicroscopic evaluation of anterior segment dysgenesis: a retrospective cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD) encompasses a range of congenital disorders affecting the development of the eye's anterior segment, often leading to significant visual impairment and glaucoma. Although numerous studies have focused on the genetic basis of ASD, few have comprehensively compared the clinical features across ASD subtypes. This study aims to address this gap by describing and comparing the clinical characteristics and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) imaging features of various ASD subtypes in a Chinese tertiary medical center.

Methods

A retrospective review of medical records was conducted for hospitalized patients diagnosed with ASD in the Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University between January 2013 and December 2022. Patients were enrolled consecutiv
