Description : The Volkmann type of cataract has been variously described as progressive, central,
or zonular, with opacities in the embryonic, fetal, and juvenile nucleus and around
the anterior and posterior Y-suture. Expression is highly variable, ranging from hardly
recognizable opacities in the lens to dense cataracts. Affected members may thus be
unaware of having the disease (Eiberg et al., 1995). The preferred title/symbol of
this entry was formerly 'Cataract, Congenital, Volkmann Type; CCV.';
