Abstract
Introduction: Congenital anophthalmia is a rare ocular malformation consisting of the absence of the eyeball at birth and can occur unilaterally or bilaterally.
Clinical case: Its complex etiology includes environmental and genetic factors. This pathology has an estimated overall prevalence of 3 per 100,000 live births in isolation and 30 per 100,000 live births associated with other malformations, representing approximately 4% of the causes of blindness.
Diagnostic workshop: In Ecuador, of the registered disabilities, 12% correspond to visual disabilities, and of these, 24% are associated with perinatal causes. Anophthalmia can be diagnosed both prenatally and postnatally, and its treatment, complex and prolonged, will depend on the degree of severity of the pathology and the time of diagnosis as well as the start of treatment
Evolution: This malformation contributes significantly to infant morbidity and has an essential impact on the child and his or her family, so prenatal diagnosis is essential to initiate early intervention by a multidisciplinary team that, along with medical treatment, emphasizes emotional and psychological support to the family.
Conclusions: Congenital anophthalmia is a severe eye malformation that can significantly impact the life of the child and their family.
