title: [Congenital fibrosis syndrome. Considerations on etiology, genetics and surgical therapy].
abstract: Fibrosis syndrome has been a well-known clinical entity for more than a century. Nevertheless, there are still some unresolved questions concerning its etiology, chronological course, and optimal timing of surgery. On the basis of their experience in 12 cases (2 unilateral, 10 bilateral, 7 with eye muscles and/or lid surgery), the authors attempt to help answer these questions.
