Abstract
- Anophthalmos associated with optic nerve aplasia in the contralateral eye is extremely rare. To our knowledge, this is the first case report in Korea. A 3-day-old girl had anophthalmos in the right eye and optic nerve aplasia in the left. Except for the ocular findings, she was relatively healthy. Her sibling had also anophthalmos and expired 4 days after birth. But we could not take her siblings history in detail. We report this case with a brief review of literatures.
