case_images: A subsequent examination revealed a slight bilateral introversio of the eyelid (entropion), with fine eyelids and little palpebral fissures (Figure 1).
case_images: Ocular ultrasound of a newborn affected by (A) severe right-side microphthalmia with the presence of a vesicle in the right-side cavity, and (B) left-side anophthalmia with an empty orbital cavity.

case_images: The ocular ultrasound (Figure 2), as well as the orbital brain CT scan (Figure 3), showed severe right-side microphthalmia (presence of an optic vesicle filling the orbital cavity, with a visible optic nerve and rectus muscles), and associated left eye anophthalmia (empty orbital cavity).
case_images: Axial section of ocular CT scan in parenchymal window after contrast injection.. Notes: (A) Right side microphthalmia; notice that the lens is absent, the optic nerve, the internal and external rectus muscles are present (arrow). (B) Left side anophthalmia; notice that there are no eye and no optic nerve. Internal and external rectus muscles are fixed in one place (arrow).. Abbreviation: computed tomography.
