title: Congenital entropion and congenital corneal ulcer.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We studied a case of corneal ulceration in utero from lower eyelid entropion.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 3-week-old male infant was referred for examination of a left corneal ulcer that was present at birth and unresponsive to antibiotics.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Examination disclosed a lower eyelid entropion that was treated surgically by a nonincisional method, leaving a central leukoma after re-epithelialization.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Congenital lower eyelid entropion should be included in the differential diagnosis of congenital corneal opacities.
