Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Cryptophthalmos is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the absence of an eyelid.
  • It is often associated with other ocular and systemic malformations.

Observation:

  • A unique case of unilateral cryptophthalmos involving the left eye is presented.
  • The lateral aspect of the left eye featured a downward extension of the frontal hairline.
  • The left upper eyelid was partially absent, replaced by a fold adherent to a disorganized globe, while the lower eyelid was fully developed.

Findings:

  • The case exhibited unique anatomical findings not previously described in cryptophthalmos literature.
  • Review of ocular and systemic features of cryptophthalmos was conducted.
  • A potential predilection for the left eye in unilateral cryptophthalmos cases is suggested for the first time.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of the phenotypic variability in cryptophthalmos.
  • Highlights the importance of thorough ocular and systemic evaluation in affected individuals.
  • Suggests further research into the potential laterality in unilateral cryptophthalmos.
