ButTo identify early and treat the ophthalmological features in children with the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.
MéthodesWe describe the ophthalmological features in children with the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome that have been identified in literature, and we describe our own experience with the detection and treatment of ophthalmological problems in this patient population.
RésultatsOphthalmological findings are seen in the majority of patients, serious involvement however is uncommon.
ConclusionA comprehensive eye examination is recommended in a child when the diagnosis of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is made. A follow-up should be planned on an individual basis.
