Unilateral Isolated Congenital Ectopic Pupil (Corectopia) in a Four-Year-Old Child: Case Report and Literature Review
Unilateral corectopia is an exceedingly rare congenital defect where the pupil is displaced from its central position.

description | Unilateral corectopia is an exceedingly rare congenital defect where the pupil is displaced from its central position. Usually, it presents with normal visual aperture or associated with other diseases. We describe the first reported case of a left ectopic pupil in a healthy four-year-old boy with normal lens structure and total lack of visual aperture. Reporting such instances contributes to the understanding of this condition and guide future research endeavors. Further studies are needed to reveal the underlying pathophysiology, refine treatment approaches, and assess long-term outcomes. |
