[Bilateral corneal neovascularization and floppy eyelid syndrome. A case report].
The conjunctival and corneal lesions usually observed in the floppy eyelid syndrome are benign and reversible as soon as the specific treatment of superior palpebral hyperlaxity is performed. A case of bilateral corneal vascularization, a rare but severe complication of floppy eyelid syndrome is reported. The floppy eyelid syndrome was identified late because keratoconjunctivitis was clinically predominant and palpebral tonicity was not initially considered. The treatment of palpebral hyperlaxity was the prerequisite for good results with keratoplasty.
