Abstract

Eyelid imbrication syndrome is an idiopathic acquired eyelid disorder characterized by upper eyelids overriding the lower eyelids. Congenital eyelid imbrications syndrome is extremely rare and thorough review of literature revealed only two previously reported cases and one congenital combined eyelid imbrications and floppy eyelid syndrome. We report a third case of bilateral asymmetric congenital eyelid imbrication syndrome and a second case of congenital combined eyelid imbrication and floppy eyelid syndrome that resolved with conservative treatment.
