Abstract
To report a rare case of peripapillary staphyloma. Case report. A 5-month-old infant was examined for esotropia associated with a retinal and optic nerve abnormality of the left eye. Detailed clinical examination along with diagnostic ultrasonography and electroretinography established a diagnosis of a peripapillary staphyloma of the left eye measuring 9.77 mm in depth. The patient's right eye was entirely normal, and she showed no systemic abnormalities. Although extremely rare, the peripapillary staphyloma may cause severe visual impairment of the affected eye in an otherwise healthy individual unassociated with systemic abnormalities.
