J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2010 May 21:47 Online:e1-3. doi: 10.3928/01913913-20100507-02.

Abstract

Congenital bilateral upper eyelid eversion is a rare, benign condition that often resolves spontaneously without permanent sequelae. The authors present an unusual case requiring multiple surgical interventions in a newborn child. A previously undescribed method that restored anatomic eyelid position in this patient is also outlined.
