Microphthalmia is regarded as the most common congenital malformation of the eye, second only to congenital cataract. Its association with an intraorbital cyst, however, is exceedingly rare. Cryptophthalmos represents a rare anomaly characterized by the partial or complete absence of the eyebrow, palpebral fissure, eyelashes, and conjunctiva. In this condition, the partially developed adnexa are fused to the anterior segment of the globe, leading to severe ocular defects. In this report, we present a rare case of congenital bilateral cryptophthalmos accompanied by an orbitopalpebral cyst and microphthalmos and the treatment results for the patient.
