Abstract

Iris coloboma is a cleft caused by defects in the closure of embryonic fissure, typically, it affects the tissue in the inferonasal quadrant of the eye.

We report a case of a 15 years old patient with a typical aspect of “keyhole pupil” which corresponds to inferonasal deficit of the iris tissue.

Clinical Image

We report a case of a 15 years old patient with no significant medical history. The ophthalmological examination with slit lamp examination with diffuse illumination of the pupillary space revealed a typical aspect of “keyhole pupil” which corresponds to inferonasal deficit of the iris tissue (Figure 1). The rest of the ophthalmological examination did not find any involvement of the lens or the posterior pole. There were no ocular or systemic abnormalities or associated family history. The diagnosis was an isolated iris coloboma.
