title: [Congenital total ectropion of upper lid].
abstract: Two cases with congenital total ectropion of the upper eyelids are reported (1 bilateral and 1 unilateral). There were no associated ocular or general abnormalities nor any apparent causes. One child was born normally, the other by cesarean section. The disease is not caused by difficult labor through natural birth passages. The condition is usually cured by conservative therapy. If surgery is carried out, it should be performed as early as possible in order to rule out secondary infections, amblyopia, epidermization of the conjunctiva, etc.
