Abstract
Anophthalmia means congenital absence of globe usually bilateral sometimes unilateral having incidence of 1:10000 worldwide. We report a neonate with right anophthalmia, periventricular leukomalacia and ventricular septal defect. Parents were counselled regarding vision and ocular prosthesis. Antenatal ultrasound can diagnose anophthalmia and be cost effective.
Keywords: Unilateral Anophthalmia, Congenital anomaly.
