Ankyloblepharon filiforme adantum

ABSTRACT

The rare anomaly of ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum was present in the left eye of a three-day-old infant girl. No other abnormalities were present. Simple excision of the strand between the upper and lower eyelids cured the condition with normal eyelid margins. Histologically the excised band had a central vascular core covered with pavement epithelium
