title: [The eyelid of the competitive swimmer].
abstract: Two cases of pseudo-baggy eyelid localized to the medial part of the superior lid are described. This peculiar feature occurred in two teenagers girls who regularly wore hard plastic protective goggles during swimming competition. Wearing goggles is probably responsible for the development of this new, and to our knowledge, previously unreported syndrome. Clinicians should be aware of the typical signs and require about swimming practices in young women who present with an unusually baggy eyelid.
