Rare, unusual, and common congenital abnormalities are among those scheduled for eye surgery. Numerous rare ophthalmopathies have significant anesthetic consequences and are linked to clinical disorders. Knowing which syndrome we are dealing with is important, but so is knowing which systems—from the cardiovascular, endocrine, metabolic, neuromuscular, genitourinary, and cerebrovascular systems to the airway—are involved, how much of them are involved, and whether there are any potential anesthetic complications. In uncommon clinical situations, it becomes even more crucial to comprehend these elements since they aid in case planning, predicting, and managing difficulties. We report a rare case of bilateral congenital anophthalmia intended for excision of right ocular edema because congenital anophthalmia is one of the rare disorders with an incidence of less than 3/1000, and microphthalmia has been documented in up to 11% of blind children.
