Abstract EN
Aim.
To report the case of congenital bilateral upper eyelid eversion with severe chemosis that was successfully managed conservatively.
Report.
The patient was a six-hour-old male neonate with bilateral congenital upper eyelid eversion and severe chemosis, following uneventful delivery.
Conservative management consisted of the application of antibiotic ointment and padding the exposed conjunctiva with 5% hypertonic saline-soaked gauze.
The eyelids reverted spontaneously on day 3 and the condition was completely resolved by the third week.
Conclusion.
Congenital upper lid eversion is usually a benign condition which responds well to conservative treatment.
Creating awareness amongst healthcare professionals is essential.
