Congenital cystic eye (CCE) is a rare condition caused by failure of invagination of the optic vesicle resulting in a persistent cyst replacing the eye. An associated optic nerve attached to the cyst is a rarely reported phenomenon that has been sparsely described histologically, with no immunohistochemistry reported previously. The authors present a case of CCE with optic nerve tissue inserting into the cyst, and present the histological and immunohistochemical findings.

D009900 Optic Nerve The 2nd cranial nerve which conveys visual information from the RETINA to the brain. The nerve carries the axons of the RETINAL GANGLION CELLS which sort at the OPTIC CHIASM and continue via the OPTIC TRACTS to the brain. The largest projection is to the lateral geniculate nuclei; other targets include the SUPERIOR COLLICULI and the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEI. Though known as the second cranial nerve, it is considered part of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
