Definition:failure to initiate and/or complete closure of the transient gap in the ventral margin of the developing optic cup; fusion of the optic fissure begins with apposition of the inferior lips of the ventral-most optic cup and continues anteriorly toward its rim and posteriorly along the optic stalk; failure or late closure of the optic fissure prevents the establishment of normal fetal intraocular pressure and can result in microphthalmia associataed with colobomas
Synonyms:exact_synonym: abnormal choroid fissure closure;   abnormal choroidal fissure closure;   abnormal embryonic fissure closure;   abnormal fetal fissure closure;   abnormal foetal fissure closure;   abnormal retinal fissure closure;   optic fissure closure defects;   persistent optic fissure
