Abstract

Microphthalmos with cyst which results from a defect of ventral fissure is a rare malformation, with no previously reported case in Korea. The defect permits neuroectodermal tissue to proliferate into the orbit, forming a cystic structure that remains connected to the inferior aspect of the diminutive globe. We have observed such a malformation in a 8-year-old girl and surgically excised the diminutive eye and communicating cyst en-bloc.
