Purpose

Presenting a rare congenital eyelid abnormality and exposing the various malformations that may be associated with it.

Setting

Ophthalmology A department, Ibn Sina hospital, Rabat, Morocco

Methods

A 2-months newborn was sent by the pediatrician for an ophthalmological examination, for presenting a skin bridge between eyelids of the right eye.The baby was born from a non-consanguineous marriage, at 40 weeks gestational age and weighed 3500 g. No particular medical family history. Pregnancy and delivery were unremarkable. The somatic examination found no abnormalities: no cardiac malformation, no central neurological abnormalities, no cleft lip or palate, no ectodermal syndromes. The ophthalmological examination found an ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum. The patient was classified type I, according to Rosenman classification.

Results

The baby underwent an incision of the ankyloblepharon under sedation in one cut. No underlying ocular abnormalities were noted.No systemic or ocular sequelae were reported after two years of follow‐up

Conclusion

Ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum can be isolated or associated with multiple malformations and be a life-threatening disease. The surgical treatment has to be early, to prevent amblyopia and guarantee a better cicatrization.
