Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Congenital cystic eye is a rare developmental anomaly characterized by the absence of a formed eyeball.
  • This condition presents a significant surgical and diagnostic challenge in neonates.

Observation:

  • A histopathologically confirmed case of congenital cystic eye in a one-day-old female infant is presented.
  • The anomaly presented as an unusually large cystic mass, causing proptosis and upper eyelid stretching.
  • No rudimentary eyeball structures were identified within the orbit.

Findings:

  • The absence of a formed eyeball is a key diagnostic feature.
  • The unusually large size of the cystic mass is notable.
  • This report is the first to suggest a potential predilection for the left eye in congenital cystic eye.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for affected infants.
  • Understanding the potential laterality of this condition may aid in future research and clinical evaluation.
  • This case contributes to the limited literature on congenital cystic eye, emphasizing its rarity and unique presentations.
