Abstract
- Macular coloboma is a rare atypical form of choroidal coloboma which develop secondary to intrauterine infection or developmental abnormality of the eye. These are usually oval or round with well defined margin sized from less than 1 disc diameter to 10 disc diameters. The macular coloboma was classified into pigmented type, non-pigmented type, and type associated with presence of abnormal vessels. We experienced two cases of macular coloboma, without any family history or other associated physical abnormalities. The first case showed pigmented type in the right eye and intermediated type between pigmented and non-pigmented type in the left eye and the second case showed macular coloboma with abnormal vessels.
