title: The oculocardiac reflex in a congenitally anophthalmic child.
abstract: We report a case of reflex bradycardia due to ophthalmic surgical stimulus in a congenitally anophthalmic child. Although the oculocardiac reflex has been previously reported from the empty orbit following enucleation, we are unaware of other cases involving a congenital absence of the globe.
