Congenital eversion of the eyelids: a report of two cases treated with conservative management.
Congenital eversion of the upper eyelids is rare. Most previous cases were associated with Down's Syndrome, difficult labor and delivery, or underlying skin disorders. The two present cases occurred in normal patients with unremarkable deliveries. They responded promptly to conservative treatment, including use of a horizontal grid of tape on each lid, which successfully repositioned the lids and facilitated instillation of antibiotic solutions.
