Congenital bilateral upper eyelid eversion is a rare condition and the definite cause is not known. It is often seen in Black babies or babies with Down's syndrome. With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, the condition can be managed without surgery. We report a case of congenital upper eyelid eversion in an otherwise healthy Caucasian neonate, born by normal vaginal delivery. The case responded well to conservative treatment, including eyelid repositioning, lubricants, antibiotic ointment, and eyelid patching.

“…Stillerman et al proposed that the facial trauma caused during labour led to impairment of venous drainage and periorbital oedema leading to eversion of the eyelids. 9 Other intrinsic lid anatomical factors such as orbicularis oculi hypotonia, vertical shortening of the anterior lamella or vertical elongation of the posterior lamella of the eyelids with failure of fusion of the orbital septum with the levator aponeurosis, absence of an effective lateral canthal ligament and lateral elongation of the eyelids have also been implicated. 7 Bentsi-Enchill proposed overlapping of the lower eyelid by the upper eyelid as a possible mechanism.…”
