Euryblepharon is a rare congenital anomaly of the palpebral fissure which consists of an increase in its width. A case has been described in which this characteristic is very marked, and associated with ectropion, lagophthalmos, corneal ulcers; also congenital malformations as twisted feet, hypospadia and inguinal hernia. Apart from a limited increase of the palpebral fissure in the mother, the familiar anamnesis is negative, and likewise examination of the cariogram and research of eventual metabolic modifications. An estimation of the various surgical techniques proposed revealed insufficient strictness regarding the standards generally followed in palpebral plastic surgery. Consequently, a technical variation was set up that will satisfy the needs of correct anatomical-surgical practice.

Abstract

Euryblepharon is a rare congenital anomaly of the palpebral fissure which consists of an increase in its width. A case has been described in which this characteristic is very marked, and associated with ectropion, lagophthalmos, corneal ulcers; also congenital malformations as twisted feet, hypospadia and inguinal hernia. Apart from a limited increase of the palpebral fissure in the mother, the familiar anamnesis is negative, and likewise examination of the cariogram and research of eventual metabolic modifications. An estimation of the various surgical techniques proposed revealed insufficient strictness regarding the standards generally followed in palpebral plastic surgery. Consequently, a technical variation was set up that will satisfy the needs of correct anatomical-surgical practice.
