Abstract
Objective: To present a clinical case of congenital bilateral anophthalmia and document what is found in the literature on
this entity. Study design: Clinical case report. Method: Description of a clinical case of a neonate with congenital bilateral
anophthalmia that was born at the Hospital Universitario San Ignacio and who was treated by the Ophthalmology service in
the same institution. Results: We present the case of a male patient with a diagnosis of bilateral congenital anophthalmia
and tricuspid atresia with vessels in D-transposition with aortic coarctation, without other associated malformations or environmental risk factors. This is a rare pathology, of which etiology and pathophysiological processes are not yet fully understood.
It is relevant to continue follow up and diagnostic processes to clarify its development processes and the entirety of complex
malformations with which it can be in association with.
