Abstract:
A number of eyelid lesions in early childhood, most commonly dacryoceles and hemangiomas, have been documented to cause astigmatic changes of the cornea. Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is typically reported to include both cutaneous skin and anterior ocular segment lesions. We report a case of a 10-month-old infant in which a subcutaneous JXG lesion of the lower eyelid resulted in visually significant astigmatic amblyopia.
