Ocular choristomas are rare lesions that have been reported at the conjunctiva, sclera, orbit, or intraocularly with significant potential for visual disturbance. The complex type of choristomas shows a mixture of different cartilaginous, glandular, and muscular tissue in addition to fat. We present a patient with an associated eyelid coloboma and complex choristoma. A 12-day-old baby boy was referred to our hospital with an upper medial eyelid coloboma affecting almost two-thirds of the eyelid length with an additional sub-brow mass since birth. The baby also had secondary findings to the eyelid coloboma defect: temporal conjunctival symblepharon, vascularized cornea, and inferior pannus. The patient underwent an upper eyelid reconstruction with excisional biopsy of the sub-brow mass, which was diagnosed as a complex choristoma. This is the first case of an eyelid coloboma-associated with complex choristoma without any other systemic associations.

Ophthalmologic manifestations of organoid nevus syndrome: A series of 13 cases.
Med J Armed Forces India
October 2022
Senior Resident (Oculoplasty, Tumor & Pediatric Ophthalmology Services), Dr R. P. Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, AIIMS, New Delhi, India.
Article Synopsis
- Organoid nevus syndrome is a rare neurocutaneous condition characterized by sebaceous nevus, seizures, and associated ocular abnormalities.
- A study involving 13 patients showed that all had sebaceous nevus, with some also experiencing alopecia, seizures, and arachnoid cysts.
- The main eye-related issues identified were complex choristoma, scleral coat calcification, and upper eyelid coloboma.
Periorbital Outcomes and Vision Risk Stratification in Treacher Collins Syndrome.
Plast Reconstr Surg
May 2024
Division of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Oral Surgery, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on ophthalmologic outcomes and management strategies in children with Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS), analyzing data from 50 patients treated over 14 years.
- Results showed high prevalence of periorbital anomalies such as downslanting eyelids and eyelid colobomas, with 40% requiring multiple surgical procedures to address these issues.
- Despite these challenges, 90% of the subjects had good vision, leading to the recommendation for early ophthalmologist evaluations and intervention to prevent vision loss, using a proposed vision risk scale for better management.
Reconstruction of an Eyelid Defect Associated with Congenital Coloboma in a 7-Month-Old Male Infant Using an Acellular Dermal Allograft.
Am J Case Rep
February 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, Beijing, China (mainland).
Article Synopsis
- Congenital eyelid coloboma in children can lead to various complications like keratitis and amblyopia, particularly when over half of the eyelid margin is affected, making repairs difficult.
- A case involving a 7-month-old boy with significant eyelid defects was treated using an Acellular Dermal Allograft (ADA), involving multiple surgical procedures including drainage tube insertion and eyelid reconstruction.
- While the initial results of using ADA were positive, with good postoperative eyelid shape, there is a concern about the gradual appearance of lower eyelid retraction, indicating a need for further research on surgical techniques.
Genomic Analysis Reveals Candidate Genes Underlying Sex-Linked Eyelid Coloboma, Feather Color Traits, and Climatic Adaptation in Huoyan Geese.
Animals (Basel)
November 2023
Department of Animal Genetics and Breeding, National Engineering Laboratory for Animal Breeding, College of Animal Science and Technology, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100193, China.
Article Synopsis
- The domestic Huoyan geese from Northern China have developed unique traits and adaptations due to natural and artificial selection.
- Researchers discovered genetic variations linked to two sex-linked phenotypes (upper eyelid coloboma and gosling feather color) and identified key genes on chromosome Z associated with these traits.
- The study also uncovered genes that aid in cold and heat adaptation, highlighting physiological functions relevant to energy metabolism, immunity, and stress, thus enhancing knowledge for goose breeding and selection practices.
