“…At present, no cases of congenital eversion of the eyelid in Niger have been reported in the literature and we believe we are the first to do so. In addition, many publications in the literature have reported cases of this condition, particularly in countries south of the Sahara; among other countries, we can cite cases in Guinea Conakry, Ghana, Cameroon and Nigeria [2,3,6,7]. Its worldwide incidence is unknown.…”

Congenital eversion of the eyelids is a rare entity, usually presenting at birth and most frequently involving the upper eyelid. Most often, congenital eversion presents bilaterally, although unilateral cases also exist. We report four (4) cases in infants treated at our centers. We noted: 3 cases with bilateral total eversion of both upper eyelids and one case of unilateral total eversion of the left upper eyelid. We observed two cases in newborns with a clinical profile of collodion baby, which is a very rare and typical entity and two other cases in newborns with no other associated organic anomaly. The management of the four cases in our series consisted of subtarsal injections of dexamethasone, use of antibiotic-corticoid eye drops and ointments and local care, which represents a revolution in the conservative method, resulting in a total and spectacular remission after one week of treatment, with normalization of palpebral statics and spontaneous palpebral movements. In addition to conservative treatment other than our own, other authors have proposed surgical treatment using a variety of invasive procedures.

“…This rare condition was first described by Adams in 1896. Most of the cases reported concerned black newborns and collodion babies [2,3]. Several therapeutic approaches have been proposed, but the conservative approach seems to bring better results with fewer invasive explorations [4].…”

“…Apart from the pronounced appearance (such as bilateral prolapse), the eyes were normal, with the need to retract the edematous conjunctiva to perform an ophthalmic examination. The conjunctival chemosis appears to protect the cornea from exposure, and hence, corneal complications are rare,[ 8 17 25 ] except in cases of Down syndrome. [ 7 ]…”

“…Association with Down’s syndrome [ 3 ], [ 4 ], collodion skin disease [ 5 ], and black infants [ 6 ] are documented in the literature. In the Indian population, only 4 cases have been reported till date, out of them one was associated with Down’s syndrome [ 7 ], another was a collodion baby [ 8 ], and two further reports were cases of congenital ectropion [ 9 ], [ 10 ]. We encountered this rare condition in a normal baby at a tertiary health care center in central India with no associated ocular or systemic abnormality.…”
