ABSTRACT

Ocular disorders are anatomical or functional, and can appeared since embryo development or fetal stage, and be present at born. Some ocular abnormalities are related with gestacional age, while others are due to inborn metabolic errors, genetic syndromes, drug abuse or pharmacologic treatment in the mother. Methods: From January 2000 to August 2012, a prospective, transversal, observational and descriptive study was performed. An ophthalmological evaluation was made to all neonates hospitalized at the Neonatal Intensive and Intermediate Unit Care. Ambulatory infants of the follow up pediatric program also were evaluated. Maternal variables evaluated were: age, endocrine pathology, and addictions. Neonatal variables were sex, gestacional age at born, and type of ocular alteration. Descriptive statistic was done. Results: A total of 4,583 hospitalized patients and 7,815 ambulatory infants were under ophthalmological evaluation. An ocular abnormality was identified in 179 (1.4%) newborns, 33 patients had a syndrome which included ocular problems, 93 had a diabetic mother, 24 were born from addicted mother and 29 of a teen mom. The gestacional age at born range from 24 to 40 weeks. Conclusions: In this study sons of diabetic and addicted mothers seem to present more often congenital ocular malformations.
