Cataract 8 multiple types(CCV; CTRCT8)

MedGen UID:
396230
•Concept ID:
C1861833
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: Cataract congenital Volkmann type
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0007280
OMIM®: 115665

Definition

The Volkmann type of cataract has been variously described as progressive, central, or zonular, with opacities in the embryonic, fetal, and juvenile nucleus and around the anterior and posterior Y-suture. Expression is highly variable, ranging from hardly recognizable opacities in the lens to dense cataracts. Affected members may thus be unaware of having the disease (Eiberg et al., 1995). The preferred title/symbol of this entry was formerly 'Cataract, Congenital, Volkmann Type; CCV.' [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Developmental cataract
MedGen UID:
3202
•Concept ID:
C0009691
•
Congenital Abnormality
A cataract that occurs congenitally as the result of a developmental defect, in contrast to the majority of cataracts that occur in adulthood as the result of degenerative changes of the lens.

Nuclear cataract
MedGen UID:
140274
•Concept ID:
C0392557
•
Finding
A nuclear cataract is an opacity or clouding that develops in the lens nucleus. That is, a nuclear cataract is one that is located in the center of the lens. The nucleus tends to darken changing from clear to yellow and sometimes brown.
