title: [Colobomatous orbital cyst associated with microphthalmos. Apropos of a case].
abstract: Colobomatous orbital cyst with microphthalmos is a rare anomaly occurring during embryogenesis. The authors describe a case of colobomatous orbital cyst with microphthalmos in a three-month-old child underlying the difficulties of clinical diagnosis and emphasizing the role of radiologic investigations. It is only the histopathologic study which allows the final diagnosis. From the informations given by this observation, the authors discuss the pathogenic, diagnostic, histopathologic and therapeutic characteristics of this disease.
