ABSTRACT
Ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum (AFA) is a rare, benign congenital anomaly. Notably, it is characterized by the adhesion of the ciliary edges of the upper and lower eyelids at the trabecular line. AFA is usually a solitary malformation of sporadic occurrence; however, it can occur in conjunction with other congenital diseases. Herein, we report a case of cleft lip with AFA. A patient was referred to the ophthalmology department of our hospital. The ophthalmic diagnosis was AFA in both the eyes. The left eye was observed to have a fibrous adhesion in the center, and she underwent surgery to excise the fibrous adhesion of tissue with scissors. The right eye was observed to have a fibrous adhesion in the external canthus and was excised during lip plasty. After surgery, her eyes were able to fully open, and no other apparent disease was diagnosed. AFA is thought to be caused by an ectodermal-derived developmental abnormality. Notably, cases of AFA with a cleft lip are rare. Diagnosis and surgery should be performed promptly to minimize any risk of amblyopia and for the early detection of congenital diseases, including glaucoma.
