Abstract: Leukocoria is a cause of consultation in pediatric ophthalmology, congenital catarct as well as retinoblastoma constitute the most frequent causes, nevertheless, a rarer cause can be at the origin of this white glow of the pupil: the Medullo epithelium of the ciliary body. We report the case of a 5-year-old girl in whom a medullo epithelium of the ciliary body was suspected, revealed by a simple leukocoria, confirmed histologically after enucleation.
