In sectoral heterochromia, areas of the same iris contain two different colors, the contrasting colors being demarcated in a radial, or sectoral, manner. Sectoral heterochromia may affect one or both eyes. [31] It is unknown how rare sectoral heterochromia is in humans, but it is considered to be less common than complete heterochromia.
Heterochromia iridum is the name of this rare phenomenon. It occurs when the iris—the colored part of the eye surrounding the pupil—exhibits two different colors.
A rare predominantly black cat with odd eyes. The odd-eyed colouring is caused when either the epistatic (recessive) white gene or dominant white (which masks any other colour genes and turns a cat completely solid white) [3] or the white spotting gene (which is the gene responsible for bicolour coats) [4] prevents melanin granules from reaching one eye during development, resulting in a cat ...
Heterochromia (heterochromia iridum or heterochromia iridis) is an eye condition in which one iris is a different color from the other (complete heterochromia), or where a part of one iris is a different color from the remainder (partial heterochromia or sectoral heterochromia).
While it is not uncommon for tricolor cats to have a split face like this, and many things can cause heterochromia (two different eye colors) in cats, the real clue that this cat is a chimera is ...
Type 1 is characterised by congenital sensorineural hearing loss, pigmentary deficiencies of the hair such as a white lock of hair in the front-centre of the head or premature greying, pigmentary deficiencies of the eyes such as different-coloured eyes (complete heterochromia iridum), multiple colours in an eye (sectoral heterochromia iridum) or brilliant blue eyes, patches of skin ...

Segmental heterochromia is rare in humans; only about 1% of the population have it. In addition, since congenital heterochromia of all types only affects 0.6% of people and is generally unnoticeable, this figure appears to be way off. Perhaps the author intended to say that 1% of heterochromia cases are segmental or sectoral heterochromia ...
