“…The reported cases highlighted the spontaneous upper lid eversion on forceful contraction of orbicularis oculi by De Silva et al 4 , the plausibility of asymmetrical compromise described by Odat et al 5 , the event of ophthalmia neonatorum in addition to mechanical blepharoptosis was well documented by Chandravanshi et al 6 , and the appearance of systemic polycythemia presumably explained by respiratory distress on the report published by Kaur et al 7 . However, just three cases from the global series had confirmed trisomy 21 [8][9][10] .…”

“…Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder caused by full trisomy 21 (94%), mosaicism (2.4%), or translocations (3.3%). Joint tissue laxity is thought to be universal in children with trisomy 21; however, no clear associations have been described regarding soft-tissue laxitude to explain a predisposing factor to FES 10 . Other ocular abnormalities worth remembering to screen in these patients include congenital cataract and congenital glaucoma; however, our case showed no signs of such pathologies 1 .…”

Floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) is a benign condition that leads to eyelid mispositioning. While it typically resolves on its own, it can present with various symptoms such as upper eyelids overriding the lower ones, medial canthal laxity, and erythema due to exposure to conjunctival involvement. We report the first case in Latin America, specifically in Bogota, Colombia, of a child under 3 months of age with FES associated with trisomy 21 and hordeolum, showing progressive resolution over time. This case highlights the potential associations between FES and congenital disorders.
