title: [Posterior microphthalmos: contribution of OCT/SLO].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the clinical features of the posterior segment in posterior microphthalmos and to describe the aspects of this anomaly in Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT).
  
  
  METHODS
  A diagnosis of posterior picrophthalmos could be confirmed in a 18- year-old young man based on the presence of high hypermetropiea, axial length of the globe measurement of 14 mm and a thickening of the fovea in OCT. Family history was also positive in two other members.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Posterior microphthalmos is a rare entity that may potentially be associated with blindness. OCT may be helpful both in the diagnosis and the follow-up of this anomaly.
