  • Title: Bilateral congenital anophthalmos and agenesis of the optic pathways.
    Author: Aktekin M, Oz O, Saygili MR, Kurtoğlu Z.
    Journal: Yonsei Med J; 2005 Apr 30; 46(2):296-9. PubMed ID: 15861506.
    Abstract:
    This report presents a rare example of a bilateral congenital anophthalmos and an agenesis of the optic pathways. The MR imaging studies revealed that the eyeballs, optic nerves, optic chiasm, optic tracts and optic radiation were absent. The chromosomal examination was normal. Mild mental retardation was also observed. Apart from the rarity of the anophthalmos and the total absence of the optic pathways, no etiologic reason for this pathology could be detected, which makes this case more significant.
