Abstract
Microphthalmos with orbital cyst is a rare congenital, embryogenic
abnormality of fetal fissure closure leading to a small eyeball associated with
an orbital cyst. It is accompanied by remarkable repercussions such as
cataract, glaucoma, retinal detachment or various ocular positional
alterations. It can also lead to other severe facial, neurological, or
syndromic anomalies. Observation is debated until the age of 5 when there is no
visual threat (i.e. cases with small cysts, slow progression, sight not
threatened), in order to prevent orbital underdevelopment. There is no
consensus on the optimal technique to remove or reduce the detrimental
abnormality. Surgical removal can be considered; either partial exegesis or an
aggressive enucleation. The cautious direct aspiration of the cyst is another
option with a high recurrence rate. The importance of an early and proper
diagnosis and follow-up is well known. Performance of systemic tests, imaging
scans, and an electrophysiological study should be considered. We represent the
case report describes a rare presentation of a congenital left orbital
colobomotous cyst associated with microphthalmia in a 16-year-old male patient.
