Abstract

Congenital bilateral ectropion of the eyelids is a rare, benign condition reported in ophthalmic literature. It is more frequently associated with Down’s syndrome, ichthyosis and sporadic cases in newborns from the black population. A rare case of primary congenital ectropion of all four eyelids in a child with Down’s syndrome is reported to emphasize the problems of surgical management. Congenital ectropion is associated with other eyelid abnormalities and usually requires surgical measures to protect the cornea.
