Congenital horizontal tarsal kink with microphthalmos corrected by intermarginal suture tarsorrhaphy.
Congenital horizontal tarsal kink is extremely rare. Only one case of associated microphthalmos has been reported. Various surgical techniques have been described with successful results. Few reported cases have been managed with intermarginal suture tarsorrhaphy. The current case is probably the third patient with severe tarsal kink to be managed with this simple technique.
