Congenital Anomalies

Background:

Cryptophthalmos is a rare congenital eye anomaly characterized by skin covering the malformed eye.
It can occur in isolation or as part of Fraser syndrome.
Classification includes complete, incomplete, and abortive types.

Observation:

The case involves bilateral, complete, and isolated cryptophthalmos.
The patient has undergone the first stage of reconstructive surgery.

Findings:

This case highlights the presentation of complete, isolated cryptophthalmos.
The initial surgical intervention marks a step in the reconstructive process.

Implications:

Surgical reconstruction is the primary treatment for cryptophthalmos.

This case contributes to understanding the management of this rare condition.

Further stages of surgery are anticipated for functional and aesthetic improvement.
