title: Clinical anophthalmia with orbital heterotopic brain tissue.
abstract: The authors describe the uncommon clinical presentation and treatment of a neonate with progressive proptosis, which turned out to be an ectopic cerebral rest in the orbit in the absence of a formed eye. The discussion examines the theories regarding the genesis of the condition, different locations in the body (including the orbit and the eye) in which ectopic cerebral rests have been described in the literature, and the management of the condition.
