ABSTRACT
We describe the first case reported in ophthalmological literature of the surgical management of a 17-month-old boy with bilateral vision-threatening ptosis, tarsomegaly, ectropion, and euryblepharon secondary to suspected overgrowth syndrome. We elaborate on the major challenges associated with surgical management including the natural and asymmetric growth of oversized tissue, the high likelihood of scarring and formation of disorganized tissue, and risks of frequent intubation in these patients who may have lesions that compromise critical structures such as the airway. Ultimately, surgical intervention is encouraged primarily if vision or ocular health is threatened and secondarily to achieve good cosmesis.
