A coloboma describes conditions where normal tissue in or around the eye is missing from birth. Coloboma comes from the Greek word that means “curtailed.” The eye develops quickly during a fetus’ first three months of growth. A gap, known as the choroidal fissure, appears at the bottom of the stalks that eventually form the eye. This fissure generally closes by the seventh week of gestation. If it does not close, a coloboma or space forms. A coloboma can affect one or both eyes. If both eyes are involved, it can affect them the same way or differently. There are different types of coloboma, depending on the part of the eye affected: Eyelid coloboma- A piece of the upper or lower eyelid is missing. Lens coloboma- A piece of the lens, the part of the eye that focuses light onto the retina, is missing. Macular coloboma- The macula is the central part of the retina responsible for daylight, fine and color vision. In this coloboma, the macula fails to develop normally. Optic nerve coloboma- In this coloboma, the optic nerve, the bundle of fibers that relay light signals to the brain, is hollowed out, reducing vision. Uveal coloboma- The uvea is the middle layer of the eye. This coloboma can affect the iris, the colored part of the eye, giving it a distinct keyhole or cat-eye appearance. Chorio-retinal coloboma- In this coloboma, part of the retina (the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye) is missing.

Guess the diagnosis of this Rare Case Doctors A 28-day-old male child was brought to the ophthalmology outpatient department with a complaint of redness in both eyes for the past 10 days. It was not associated with any discharge from either of the eyes. The patient was the first child of a 22-year-old woman who delivered at the same hospital at term. There was a history of delayed crying at birth. He was born of a nonconsanguinous marriage and the pedigree analysis revealed no other affected member in the family. The developmental milestones were age appropriate except for hearing deficit as he did not turn his head to sound. He was breast feeding with no difficulty in swallowing. The child was 37 cm long with a body weight of 3 kg. The skull was normal except for an open anterior fontanelle. The facial characteristics were bilaterally symmetrical but abnormal. There were multiple facial dysmorphic features including downward-slanting eyes, malar hypoplasia, mandibular hypoplasia (micrognathia), a large fishlike mouth (macrostomia) with a high arched palate . The tongue was retropositioned but the child had no difficulty in feeding and swallowing. The child had malformed and crumpled bilateral pinnae. The right ear had external auditory canal stenosis and left ear had external auditory canal atresia. He also had pectus carinatum and chest indrawing. Auscultation revealed vesicular breath sounds with prolonged expiration. The abdomen was scaphoid, and there was no other abnormality in the limbs, back, and genitals. The ophthalmological examination revealed antimongoloid slant of the palpebral fissures. The child had bilateral lower lid coloboma (lateral one third) with absence of eyelashes in the entire extent of the lower lids . The inferior conjunctiva was congested in both eyes with superficial haze of the inferior cornea (exposure keratopathy) Source- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5525627/
