RESUMEN
PURPOSE: An uncommon congenital anomaly of the eyebrows is described. METHODS: Case report and review of the literature. RESULTS: Two articles in the English literature were found describing patients similar to ours. CONCLUSIONS: Congenital upward tenting of the midportion of the eyebrows, resembling the eyebrow line of an owl, is uncommon. This anomaly is thought to be transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion and may be accompanied by myopia and strabismus, but has not been associated with systemic disease.

The authors describe an effective tool for teaching indirect ophthalmoscopy that is easily constructed from a roll of tape. The materials are inexpensive and readily available. The hollow interior of the roll affords a large pupillary opening, and one does not risk scratching the condensing lens on the metal surface of a commercial model eye.
