CONGENITAL EYELID EVERSION- A CASE REPORT WITH REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Congenital eversion of the eyelids, a condition usually seen shortly after birth is a rare condition affecting one or both eyelids of the eye. Many etiologies have been described but no specific cause has been identified. We report a case of congenital eversion of eyelids which was managed conservatively with spontaneous correction seen in 6 days. KEYMESSAGE: Congenital eversion of the eyelids is a rare easily identifiable and potentially treatable condition. Decision of surgical intervention has to be taken with care and must be individualized for each case. Congenital eversion must be differentiated from congenital ectropion due to causes like ichthyosis as the treatment widely differs. All ophthalmologists need to be aware of this condition as it can be easily managed on an outpatient basis.
