Congenitally anomalous tented eyebrows
Purpose:
An uncommon congenital anomaly of the eyebrows is described.

Conclusions:
Congenital upward tenting of the midportion of the eyebrows, resembling the eyebrow line of an owl, is uncommon. This anomaly is thought to be transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion and may be accompanied by myopia and strabismus, but has not been associated with systemic disease.
