Abstract

Congenital anophthalmos is fairly rare malformation in which the eyeball is apparently absent. We experienced a 10-day-old boy, who had a congenital anophthalmos of his left eye, a microphthalmos of the other eye and short palpebral fissure of both eyes(right: 12mm, left: 5mm). The absence of left eyeball within a small orbit was confirmed by C-T scanning. We report this interesting case with a brief review of literatures.
