Abstract

Congenital cystic eye (CCE) is a rare condition caused by failure of invagination of the optic vesicle resulting in a persistent cyst replacing the eye. An associated optic nerve attached to the cyst is a rarely reported phenomenon that has been sparsely described histologically, with no immunohistochemistry reported previously. The authors present a case of CCE with optic nerve tissue inserting into the cyst, and present the histological and immunohistochemical findings.
