"Ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum" is a congenital anomaly characterized by partial or complete adhesion of upper and lower eyelids. The lid margins remain fused until the end of the fifth month of gestational age. Complete separation usually is completed about the seventh fetal month. Ankyloblepharon may be an isolated manifestation or may be associated with abnormalities in other organs and / or systems. The case is presented on a newborn male with family history of hypohydrotic ectodermal dysplasia (mother and maternal grandfather). It revealed extensible bands of skin in right and in left eye. Apart from this, he presented cleft lip, complete absence of palate, nail and ungueal dysplasia and supernumerary nipples.
