Background: Complete cryptophthalmos, congenital aphakia, and corneal vascularization are relatively uncommon congenital eye malformations during the fetal period. Herein, we report a case of a fetus with complete cryptophthalmos, congenital aphakia, and corneal vascularization in both eyes and review previous prenatal reports of related cases.
Case Presentation: The patient was a 27-year-old pregnant woman, gravida 2, para 1, who was referred to our hospital for consultation at 23 weeks of gestation due to a diagnosis of fetal right renal agenesis at an external hospital. The ultrasound system of our hospital diagnosed the fetus with complete cryptophthalmos, congenital aphakia, and corneal vascularization, which was verified under the postnatal water basin test, anatomical and pathological sections.
Conclusions: Fetal ocular malformations are often associated with malformations of other organs, and if ultrasound findings are associated with such malformations, attention should be paid to the ocular examination to avoid missing the diagnosis.

Introduction: Fraser syndrome, named after George Fraser, is an autosomal recessive disorder showing a highly variable interfamilial phenotypic variation, with malformations ranging from minor symptoms to lethal anomalies like renal agenesis, incompatible with survival. Limb reduction defects have not been reported to be associated with it.
Case Presentation: A 21-year-old primigravida presented to the antenatal outpatient department with a level two targeted anomaly scan report suggestive of severe oligohydramnios with suspected renal agenesis.
Cryptophthalmos: associated syndromes and genetic disorders.

Division of Ophthalmology, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Purpose: Cryptophthalmos is a rare congenital condition caused by anomalous eyelid development where the eyelid folds do not develop or fail to separate. Cryptophthalmos can be unilateral or bilateral and can occur in isolation or as part of an underlying syndrome. We aim to identify genetic syndromes associated with cryptophthalmos to facilitate genetic diagnosis.

Cryptophthalmos is a rare congenital eye anomaly characterized by the absence of the palpebral fissure. Cryptophthalmos is often associated with Fraser's syndrome. We present a case of 3 days old female Asian neonate with complete unilateral cryptophthalmos, with the absence of a right eyelid.
