Abstract
- Congenital cryptophthalmos is very rare, according with Duke-Elder's System of Ophthalmology(Volume 3, Part 2) some 50 cases having been recorded since Zehender and Manz's(1872) original observation. I observed the congenital ocular deiermities in siblings; out of 10 siblings, 2 were affected. A 15-year old girl had cryptophthalmos unilaterally with other gross anomalies of the face. One of her brother (27-year old) had congenital microblepharon, coloboma of eyelids, microphthalmos and symblepharon bilaterally. The surgical amelioration of cryptophthalmos was attempted but it was impossible.
