Complete cryptophthalmos: case report with normal flash-VEP and ERG

J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 1990 May-Jun;27(3):133-5. doi: 10.3928/0191-3913-19900501-07.

Abstract

We report an infant with bilateral complete cryptophthalmos as part of Fraser Syndrome. Clinical examination and recordings of the electroretinogram and flash visual evoked potential showed a functional visual pathway at retinal and post-retinal levels. Anatomical considerations and the possible complications of surgery made reconstruction of the lids and palpebral fissures inappropriate.
