Ophthalmic findings of hydranencephaly

D C Herman et al. J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 1988 May-Jun.

Abstract

Hydranencephaly is a rare developmental disorder in which the cerebral hemispheres are replaced by a cystic space filled with cerebrospinal fluid and covered by intact meninges. Ophthalmic findings include pupillary abnormalities, strabismus, nystagmus, ptosis, optic nerve hypoplasia, chorioretinitis, retinal vessel attenuation, and incomplete anterior chamber cleavage.
