Congenital Cataracts and Microphakia with Retinal Dysplasia and Optic Nerve Hypoplasia in a Calf

Abstract: Case Description. A two-month-old, female, Aberdeen-Angus calf was presented for congenital cataracts and blindness in both eyes (OU). The dam had a reported history of visual defects (not specified) and had produced other affected calves (per owner history). Ophthalmic examination revealed mature bilateral cataracts, attenuation of the iridic granules, persistent pupillary membranes, and dyscoric pupils. Additionally, the calf had a poor body condition, prognathism, dome-shaped head, excessive nasal drainage,… Show more

“…It was established more than 100 years ago that cataracts in mammals can be environmental or hereditary (Detlefson & Yapp, 1920). For example, congenital ocular lesions including primarily cortical cataracts have been reported in calves exposed to bovine viral diarrhea virus in utero (Bistner et al, 1970; Siepker et al, 2021). However, often no definitive nutritional, infectious, or toxic cause for the congenital cataract is identified in affected herds (Krump et al, 2014; Osinchuk et al, 2017).…”
