The case is presented of a 3-month-old infant diagnosed with microphthalmos and orbital cysts. Magnetic Resonance Imaging revealed a bilateral microphthalmia with a moderate right cyst and a severe left cyst. Visual potential of the right eye was uncertain. Non-surgical treatment was decided. At the age of 2 years old, physical examination showed a significant decrease of the cysts and visual acuity of hand movements due to the residual vision of his right eye. Microphthalmos with orbital cyst is a rare congenital anomaly. Cysts tend to enlarge with time. At the moment, no standard protocol for the management of this pathology has been described. Unlike in our patient, visual acuity in these patients is usually of no-light perception. The observation could be an alternative in severe cases, since there is a possibility of spontaneous reduction, displacement, or regression of the cysts.

Bilateral severe microphthalmos with bilateral colobomatus orbitopalpebral cyst: accessibility of speciality eye-care and rehabilitation services in low and middle-income countries.
A 12-year-old girl presented with an unusually large mass under the right lower eyelid and a smaller mass under the left lower lid since the last 6 months. The parents had noticed the absence of the right eyeball and a very small left eyeball and no vision in both eyes since birth but did not approach the healthcare system. The patient was diagnosed as a case of bilateral severe microphthalmos with colobomatous cyst with late presentation and was treated surgically. The parents were counselled for education and training of the child in schools for visually impaired. Early treatment and rehabilitation help patients lead a normal life in these cases. In rural areas, patients face challenges in getting access to the specialty eye-care services due to several barriers, including lack of availability and affordability. This case highlights the disparities in essential health services in low and middle-income countries.

A case of bilateral extreme microphthalmos is reported. Autopsy of a one-day-old full-term female revealed multiple congenital anomalies which included occipital encephalocele, cleft palate, hips which could not be abducted, long fingers and toes, and cardiovascular malformations. Chromosomal analysis showed a normal 46 XX karyotype. Ocular findings in this case included clinical anophthalmos with bilateral fused eyelids, optic nerve aplasia, absent cornea and lens, and retinal dysplasia. The distinctions between anophthalmos and varying degrees of microphthalmos are discussed. The insult causing abnormal development in this case appears to have occurred during the first trimester of pregnancy. There were no prenatal or delivery complications. A genetic abnormality was considered since two older siblings have birth defects. Also discussed is the possibility of a combined genetic and environmental etiology.

A 1-day-old miniature horse filly was presented to the University of Florida Veterinary Ophthalmology service for evaluation of multiple ocular anomalies which were present from birth. Protruding from the right orbit was a large, fluctuant, red, dry and variably ulcerated mass. A globe could not be appreciated clinically in the left orbit. Ocular ultrasound of both orbits was performed. This revealed a lobular, hypo-echoic structure filling the right orbit, with multiple hyperechoic septations; normal ocular structures were not identified. Ultrasound of the left orbit revealed a microphthalmic eye, with a well-defined, hyperechoic structure in the vitreous that was thought to be the lens. Due to irreversible blindness, the foal was humanely euthanized. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry of the orbital contents revealed bilateral microphthalmos with cyst, a congenital defect rarely reported in the veterinary literature.
