Abstract

Abstract : Canaliculops is a noninflammatory and noninfectious ectasia of the canaliculus with serous fluid accumulation. Currently, the etiology is uncertain. To the best of the authors' knowledge only 6 confirmed cases have been published earlier; however, the imaging features were not described. The authors report the ultrasound biomicroscopic and ocular coherence tomography features of a histopathologically proven canaliculops. Abstract : UBM and ASOCT are helpful in imaging the canaliculops.
