title: BILATERAL OPTIC NERVE COLOBOMAS IN INFANT WITH TETRAPLOIDY.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the previously unreported ocular anomalies in the rare condition of tetraploidy.
  
  
  METHODS
  This study is a retrospective case report of a 23-day-old male infant with tetraploidy. RetCam fundus photography and neuroimaging were performed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This 23-day-old male infant was born at full term and found to have tetraploidy with numerous congenital anomalies including bilateral optic nerve colobomas, left microphthalmia, vitreous hemorrhage, and septo-optic dysplasia.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Infants with tetraploidy can present with ocular anomalies and while hospitalized should be examined by an ophthalmologist.
