Congenital eversion of upper eyelids.

ALTHOUGH a very rare condition, a case of congenital eversion of the upper eyelids has recently been ieported from America by Ostriker and Lasky (1954) and Hopen (1955). I have not been able to find any case report in the British literature over the last 20 years. Mann (1937) mentions that congenital entropion and ectropion of the lids are extremely rare. DukeElder (1952) mentions that the lid margins may be everted in microphthalmos and buphthalmos, and cites a case in which there was congenital eversion of the lower lids associated with ptosis and epicanthus (Collins, 1915).
