Congenital upper lid coloboma.

J R Collin

    Australian and New Zealand Journal of Ophthalmology
    |November 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Congenital upper lid colobomas can lead to strabismus, often due to adhesions or refractive errors. Early traction tests and specific surgical techniques like lower lid rotation flaps are recommended for best outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Congenital upper lid colobomas are rare developmental anomalies.
    • Associated ocular complications can significantly impact visual development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the incidence of strabismus in patients with congenital upper lid colobomas.
    • To identify factors associated with strabismus.
    • To evaluate surgical outcomes for eyelid reconstruction.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 22 patients with congenital upper lid colobomas.
    • Assessment of associated ocular conditions, including strabismus.
    • Analysis of surgical interventions and their results.

    Main Results:

    • Strabismus was present in 13 out of 22 patients.
    • Strabismus was associated with fibrous adhesions, high refractive errors, and media opacities.
    • Lateral cantholysis with direct closure was common; lower lid rotation flaps yielded superior results when closure was difficult.

    Conclusions:

    • Early identification and management of strabismus are crucial in children with congenital upper lid colobomas.
    • Surgical correction of congenital upper lid colobomas requires careful consideration of associated ocular findings.
    • Lower lid rotation flaps offer excellent outcomes for complex eyelid reconstructions.
