    Author: Singh M, Kaur M, Kaur R, Singh S.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2018 Mar; 35(2):e117-e120. PubMed ID: 29334142.
    Abstract:
    Congenital ectropion is commonly associated with lamellar ichthyosis. Severe eyelid ectropion may cause corneal exposure, keratopathy, and permanent corneal scarring. We report a neonate with severe, bilateral, congenital ectropion and eclabium managed using oral retinoids. Both corneas were protected with topical antibiotics and lubricating eyedrops and eye ointments. At 12-month follow-up, the child was doing well, with no ectropion or corneal opacity.
