    Congenital eyelid eversion is rare, often linked to trauma or hypotonia. This case shows spontaneous resolution with lubricants in a normal infant, suggesting laxity may be a result, not a cause.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Congenital eyelid eversion is a rare neonatal condition with debated etiology, often attributed to birth trauma or congenital lid hypotonia.
    • Previous management strategies include lid taping, tarsorrhaphy, intermarginal sutures, and plastic procedures, with noted associations with Down's syndrome.

    Observation:

    • A case of bilateral upper eyelid eversion in a normal infant, born via Caesarean section, is presented.
    • A significant spastic ectropion component was observed during the examination.

    Findings:

    • The infant's eyelid eversion resolved spontaneously with conservative management using only lubricants.
    • Lid laxity was observed, but appeared to be a consequence of the eversion rather than a primary cause, resolving as the condition improved.

    Implications:

    • This case suggests that congenital eyelid eversion may not always stem from primary lid laxity and can resolve spontaneously.
    • Management strategies should consider the potential for spontaneous resolution and the impact of eyelid occlusion on visual development.
    • Further research into the etiology and optimal management of this rare condition is warranted.
