Proboscis lateralis is a rare craniofacial malformation frequently associated with congenital ocular abnormalities. These abnormalities included anophthalmia, microphthalmia, microcornea, lenticular opacities, cyclopean eye, and colobomas of the choroid, retina, iris and eyelids. We report a case of unilateral proboscis lateralis in a newborn infant with an associated solid orbital mass. How to cite this article Kaur B, Bansal S, Saikia UN, Gupta P.
