A case of Congential cystic eye in a two month old girl is reported. This rare condition is recognised at birth as a large orbital mass in place of the normal eye. This is perhaps the first reported case with a CT Scan. The CT appearance suggests that the defect in embryogenesis is not confined to the optic vesicle but involves other parts of the brain also.
