A rare case of optic nerve entrance coloboma associated with situs inversus is reported.

Coloboma involvement of the optic nerve generally takes one of two forms; (a) the optic nerve coloboma is associated with a retinochoroidal coloboma, and (b) the coloboma involves only the optic nerve, i.e., the coloboma at the optic nerve entrance. The retinochoroidal coloboma involving the nerve alone is rare.[1][2][3] The purpose of the present communication is to report one such rare case of optic nerve entrance coloboma associated with situs inversus.
