What happens during the disease - congenital malformation of orbit

Congenital malformation of orbit is a condition caused by a disruption in normal fetal development during the first trimester of pregnancy. this disruption can be caused by genetic mutations, environmental toxins, or a combination of both. during the formation of the orbit, the orbital walls and floor may fail to properly form, leading to a variety of orbital abnormalities. these include shallow orbits, enlarged orbits, and misalignment of the eyes. in some cases, the abnormality may also affect the extraocular muscles, resulting in impaired eye movements.
