Prenatal diagnosis of congenital eyelid eversion in trisomy 21.

This article discusses a case of prenatal diagnosis of congenital eyelid eversion in a fetus with trisomy 21. A 27-year-old pregnant woman underwent genetic screening for trisomy 21 and a subsequent ultrasound at 39 weeks and 6 days revealed a soft tissue mass below the right eye of the fetus. The male infant was delivered via cesarean section and was found to have congenital bilateral upper eyelid eversion. The article emphasizes the importance of prompt identification and treatment of congenital eyelid eversion, particularly in cases of trisomy 21, as delays can lead to complications including vision loss. The authors suggest that clinicians should consider the diagnosis of eyelid eversion in fetuses with eyelid masses on ultrasound. [Extracted from the article]
