ABSTRACT
A 5-month-old girl presented with bilateral upper and lower eyelid cicatricial ectropion with right eye exposure keratopathy and bilateral lateral canthal defects. Physical examination revealed a constriction band over the temporal area of the head and nasal bridge; she was diagnosed with congenital amniotic band syndrome (ABS). Upper and lower eyelid reconstruction procedures were performed along with lateral canthal reconstruction to salvage the remaining left eye. Congenital ABS is a rare disorder. Most cases of ocular ABS are associated with limb deformities due to constriction defects and blood flow restrictions. Our patient presented solely with ocular and periocular deformities.
