Abstract

Congenital bilateral ectropion is a rare manifestation of Collodion baby syndrome, characterized by a tight, parchment-like membrane covering the entire body. We present a short case series of three patients with bilateral ectropion in Collodion babies. Case 1, a premature female, exhibited corneal exposure keratopathy. Conservative measures were initially employed, but surgical intervention was ultimately necessary with AMG & lateral canthoplasty. Case 2, a male infant, demonstrated ectropion without corneal complications, initially managed conservatively but later required surgical intervention . Case 3, also a male, displayed ectropion without exposure keratopathy, managed conservatively. Collodion baby syndrome is associated with mutations in specific genes, often linked to congenital ichthyosis. Our cases shed light on this unique presentation and the management strategies employed. Immediate attention to ectropion with corneal exposure is essential to prevent complications.
