Abstract
AbstractA unilateral scleral staphyloma in an 18‐month‐old, female spayed Domestic Short‐haired cat was treated with excision, primary closure and fascial graft. Other ocular abnormalities noted on examination included iris coloboma, anterior cortical cataract, focal lens equator flattening and retinal dysplasia. The staphyloma was presumed to be congenital in origin.
