title: [Congenital malformations of the eyelids].
abstract: Congenital malformations of the eyelids have been classified in many ways, considering their various origins. The author proposes hereby a simplified classification concentrated on the therapy: 1. isolated malformations of one or two eyelids 2. palpebral anomalies associated with a more extensive craniofacial malformative syndrome 3. congenital tumors On this basis the author examines the most frequent malformations: blepharoptosis, coloboma, epicanthus, blepharophimosis, microblepharism and some congenital tumors. For each of these lesions, a surgical treatment is proposed and illustrated.
