  RESULTS
  A case of a 12-year-old male patient with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) presented with sudden whitening and lacrimation for 2 days in both eyes simultaneously. At the initial examination, there were bilateral acute corneal hydrops, enophthalmic eyes and roving nystagmus. Ultrasonography revealed clear crystalline lenses and attached retina. Initial management consisted of topical hypertonic solutions, steroids and artificial tears.
