Abstract

Purpose: To brief a rare case of superior retino-choroidal coloboma and to analyse the possible embryo genic aspects involved in its provenance.
Method: Case report
Result: This case report highlights an 11-year-old myopic girl who presented with diminution of vision in both eyes for past 1 year. She had no other specific ocular complaints. The best corrected visual acuity was left eye (OS) 6/18p and N24 and right eye (OD) as 6/6 and N6 at 30 cm each. On detailed examination, all ocular structures were found to be normal except the fundus, which showed superior choroidal coloboma with foveal involvement in OS while OD being normal. This is a rare phenomenon since most often ocular coloboma is located in the inferior nasal quadrant with the involvement of iris and/or crystalline lens.
Conclusion: The rare finding in this case is the location of coloboma at the superior quadrant.
