Abstract
Posterior microphthalmos with papillomacular fold is a rare disorder that involves both eyes without other ocular or systemic abnormalities. It is characterized by a short posterior segment with a normal anterior segment. We report the case of a 3.5-year-old boy with high hyperopia. The fundus examination showed bilateral papillomacular fold and ultrasonography confirmed the posterior microphthalmos. We comment on clinical characteristics, pathogenicity, and inheritance modes of this rare congenital disorder.
