Abstract
|
|
|
A congenital coloboma of the eyelid is a defect affecting primarily the lid margin. It is usually unilateral and situated on the inner half of upper lid.
This disorder is not uncommon and frequently associated with a multitude of other congenital anormalies, among which benign dermoid is most common.
Exposure keratopathy usually becomes a problem when approximately 30% or more of the lid is absent.
This disorder is thought to be the result of trauma from amniotic bands or of a localized failure of adhesion of the lid folds. Many authors had already described various methods of its surgical treatment.
Authors hereby present a case of rare bilateral congenital coloboma located on the medial third of both upper eyelids. The patient was treated by direct closure method with bilateral cantholysis.
