Abstract:
Congenital ocular anomalies may be detected on prenatal imaging using fetal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), although standard prenatal ultrasound for fetal physical development does not currently include ocular and orbital evaluation. We present the case of a male infant born at 39 weeks' gestation with microphthalmia with cyst that was characterized using serial multimodal imaging, including fetal ultrasound and MRI, B-scan ultrasonography, ultrasound biomicroscopy, and postnatal MRI. Multiple prenatal and postnatal imaging modalities yielded comparable evaluations of the ocular and orbital pathology, validating the prenatal assessments.
