Congenital cystic eye: a clinicopathologic study.

Congenital cystic eye is an extremely rare congenital ocular anomaly where a cystic mass or neuroglial tissue replaces normal eyeball secondary to failure of invagination of the optic vesicle. The authors describe a case of a 13-year-old girl, including clinical, imaging, intraoperative, and histopathological findings of this uncommon malformation. In addition, it was associated with ectopic glial tissue in the brain, which is also a rare association of this anomaly. Copyright 2010, SLACK Incorporated.
