“…Rosenman et al [7, 8] divide AFA into four subgroups (Table 1) and indicated that groups I and II were sporadic and groups III and IV were autosomal dominant with variable expressivity. Bacal et al [3] suggested a fifth group: AFA in association with chromosomal abnormalities.…”

Ankyloblepharon is defined by partial or complete adhesion of the ciliary edges of superior and inferior eyelids. It is usually a sporadic isolated malformation in which the upper and lower lids are joined by tags. Although it is an uncommon and benign condition, its presence should alert the clinician to the possibility of other important disorders. We report a case of a new born who had a sporadic ankyloblepharon, treated one day after birth.

Ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum (AFA) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by partial or complete adhesion of upper and lower eyelids, usually seen as an isolated finding, but often associated with other anomalies or a well-defined syndrome. We report a case of bilateral AFA associated with bilateral cleft lip and cleft palate. There were multiple adhesions of both the eyelids, which were divided by scissors under topical anaesthesia. One year follow-up of the child showed normal eyelid function, ocular motility, and fundus. In a case of AFA, timely separation of the eyelids is crucial to avoid the development of occlusion amblyopia.
