Background
• A female infant was born to healthy, unrelated parents following an uneventful pregnancy and delivery
• At birth she was found to have a large mass protruding from the left orbit, completely replacing the normal globe
• The mass was well circumscribed and moved partially on movement of the other eye indicating some attachment to extra-ocular muscles. However, normal eye structures were not apparent. The upper and lower eyelids were stretched significantly to accommodate the large mass
• Systems review revealed no other abnormalities
Normal eye structures not evident
Transillumination
The child was brought to the operating room where examination was performed
Exploration of the mass posterior to the equator revealed the presence of extraocular muscles
Rectus muscle
Following removal of the mass – the contour of the eyelids was more evident. Both the upper and lower lids had in effect ‘cicatricial’ ectropions with extremely tight skin and absent fornices
The width of the palpebral aperture from nasal to temporal extremities was increased compared to the fellow eye
A conformer was placed in the socket and a lateral tarsorrhaphy was performed

• The mass measured 30mm in length and 24×25mm in width
• Anteriorly complex solid/cystic mass:epithelial inclusion cyst surrounded by mature fat tissue, mesenchymal tissue including striated muscle and neural tissue with ependymal-like cystic structures
• Posteriorly:small amount of compressed intraocular tissue – choroid, retina & poorly formed anterior segment structures, RPE & ciliary body
Histology
• Retina: small areas of intra-retinal calcification, retinal dysplasia & well formed rosettes & nodule of vascularised fibrous tissue & adipose tissue
• No evidence of cornea, anterior chamber or angle structures or lens
• Rare ocular and orbital malformation describing an intraorbital cavity lined by neuroglial tissue
• Primary developmental abnormality of the globe caused by an invaginational arrest of the primary optic vesicle between the 2 & 7mm stages of fetal development
• ~30 reported cases in literature• Chaudhry et al, Int Ophthal 2007• Gupta et al, BMC Ophthal 2003
