    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Congenital euryblepharon is a rare eyelid malformation characterized by an increased horizontal width of the eyelid margin relative to the globe and orbit.
    • Understanding the spectrum and associated anomalies of this condition is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Presents three distinct cases of congenital euryblepharon.
    • One case involved all four eyelids, another had unilateral upper and lower eyelid involvement, and a third presented with bilateral lower eyelid involvement.
    • Identified previously unreported anomalies: a double row of meibomian gland orifices and extreme lateral displacement of the lower canaliculus and punctum.

    Findings:

    • All cases exhibited vertical skin shortage, leading to lagophthalmos (incomplete eyelid closure).

  • This resulted in mild to moderate exposure keratitis (corneal inflammation).
  • Surgical correction strategies for these deformities were discussed based on a review of existing literature.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the variability in congenital euryblepharon presentation and associated anomalies.
    • Emphasizes the need for comprehensive ophthalmic examination in affected individuals.
    • Provides insights into surgical management options for this rare condition, potentially improving patient outcomes.
