Congenital Cystic Eye: A Clinicopathological Review
Abstract
Congenital cystic eye is an extremely rare congenital anomaly that results from failure of the invagination of the primary optic vesicle between the 2mm and 7mm stage of fetal development in which the globe is replaced by a cyst.
Management is multidisciplinary involving but not limited to the Ophthalmologist, Paediatrician, Radiologist, Histopathologist, an ocularist and a counsellor. Surgical intervention is usually carried out for cosmetic reasons and to confirm the diagnosis. We present the case of a seven-month female infant who presented with right orbital mass since birth and a normal left eye. She had excisional biopsy done and histology confirmed the diagnosis.
