Background:

Primary congenital upper eyelid entropion (PCUEE) is an exceptionally rare condition.
Previous literature suggests PCUEE may be part of a syndrome involving multiple congenital anomalies.

Observation:

This case report reviews a patient with PCUEE.
The condition necessitates surgical correction due to corneal erosion from trichiasis.

Findings:

A congenital shortness of the levator muscle with anomalous insertion onto the tarsal plate is proposed as the primary etiology.
A novel, simplified surgical technique for correcting PCUEE is described.

Implications:

The findings support classifying PCUEE as a syndrome requiring thorough systemic evaluation.
The simplified surgical approach may offer a more accessible treatment option for this rare condition.
