Remnants of Bergmeister's papilla and retinochoroidal colobomas.
The case of a patient having a Bergmeister's papilla associated with a small retinochoroidal coloboma and multiple pigment epithelial defects in one eye and a retinochoroidal coloboma in the other eye is described. Such abnormalities of neuroectodermal origin probably result from an anomalous maturation of the cells of the proximal part of the embryonic cleft in the sixth week of development.
