MRI shows boy born without eyes

When Richie Lopez didn’t open his eyes for days after his birth in Arizona, his parents and doctors became concerned. At thirteen days, they turned to imaging, and an MRI scan revealed little Richie had in fact been born with a rare condition in which his eyes did not develop.

While imaging was used to solve the mystery after his birth, ultrasounds of Richie during the pregnancy did not indicate any issues. For more on this story, see the report from KTVK at the link below:
