Abstract
We describe gross and histopathological features of multiple ocular and neuro-ophthalmic abnormalities in a fox squirrel (Sciurus niger). Ophthalmic findings included severe bilateral microphthalmos, with the right eye more affected than the left. Histopathology confirmed severe microphthalmia, aphakia, disorganized retinal tissue and small optic nerves, as well as agenesis of the optic chiasm and optic tract. This combination of neuro-ophthalmic abnormalities has not been previously described in wild animals.
