Rare Case of Idiopathic Congenital Unilateral Anophthalmia

Abstract

True or primary anophthalmos is very rare. Anophthamia whether acquired or congenital, is not just a cosmetical worry. Absence or loss of eye can affect maturation of surrounding soft tissues and bony structures of the affected orbit as well loss of stereopsis if unilateral. A case of idiopathic congenital unilateral anophthalmia is been reported. A 26 year old male came to us at our hospital with absence of left eyeball since birth.
