Abstract
Cryptophthalmos is a very rare congenital anomaly, in which there is developmental defect in the surface ectoderm part of the eye, with partial or complete failure of eyelid formation and is characterized by skin passing continually from the forehead to the cheek over a malformed eye, or failure of separation of lids. As in Fraser syndrome1 it is mostly accompanied by urogenital anomalies, syndactyly, and cognitive disorders.1 We report a unique case of bilateral complete cryptophthalmos in Pakistan where the mother was blamed for being responsible for the birth of malformed child.
