Complete Cryptophthalmos: Case Report With Normal Flash-VEP and ERG

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.
