Ocular Malformation 0002

3D Volume Rendering Technique (VRT) reconstruction from CT scans of the head of a Harp Seal (Phoca groenlandica) showing indications of a hypoplastic left eye lens surrounded by some hemorrhagic vitreous seen on CT and grossly. Impaired vision may have led to the unusual bycatch of this animal. Specimen courtesy of National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).
