Keratoconus in Children: A Literature Review

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Purpose: This review discusses the main aspects of pediatric keratoconus (KC) based on the current evidence to propose a guideline for helping early diagnosis and improving efficacy in treatment. Methods: This literature review was performed using PubMed, Ovid, and Elsevier databases. For the database search, the primary entered term included &quot;pediatric keratoconus,&quot; connected to descriptors such as &quot;keratoconus,&quot; &quot;screening,&quot; &quot;corneal cross-linking&quot; (CXL), and &quot;keratoplasty.&quot; Peer-reviewed and scholarly resources including original scientific articles and review articles were included. Results: The prevalence of KC changes among populations. The greatest incidence has been reported in Middle-Eastern populations, an estimate of incidence of 1/2,000 individuals per year. Scheimpflug imaging, optical coherence tomography, and slit-scan tomography are commonly used to detect early diagnosis. Epithelium-off CXL is the treatment that should be discussed as soon as there is evidence for disease progression. Actually, penetrating keratoplasty represents the more common technique of pediatric keratoplasty; however, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty probably seems as the best surgical option because of healthy endothelium. Options to increase visual acuity thereafter include contact lens fitting and corneal implants. Conclusions: The review of the literature confirms that KC in children is more aggressive than that in adults. In the attempt to preserve a good visual acuity, guidelines for improving early diagnosis and appropriate treatment seem crucial.
