Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We describe a case of unilateral upper eyelid horizontal tarsal kink with congenital corneal ulceration. The surgical repair, by means of a simple resection of orbicularis and skin, is presented as a simple technique to correct the congenital anomaly of tarsal kink. Congenital tarsal kink should be included in the differential diagnosis of congenital corneal opacity and ulceration. Early recognition and surgical intervention reduces corneal scarring.
