Hydroophthalmos (Hydrophthalmos)

I can help you write an article on the topic "Hydrophthalmos" or "Buphthalmos".

**Hydrophthalmos** (Hydropta lasm os), according to the definition of the World Health Organization and its Russian analogue “buphthalmos”, is a condition characterized by bilateral obstruction of the visual pathways, developing as a result of pathological changes in the sclera with its subsequent fibrous transformation and anatomical defects.\ n\nIt is also called inflammatory glaucoma or primary glaucoma, which is its initial form. Hydrophthalmos is characterized by fibrovascular dyskinesia, when the blood and lymphatic vessels are affected by the syphilitic process, while the sclera becomes swollen and dense, and the eyeballs protrude forward or to the sides. In severe cases of hydrophthalmitis, diffuse dropsy forms, in which visual acuity is completely lost. That is, complete atrophy of the optic nerves occurs, similar to denervation edema.
