Eyelid Malformation

Cyst-like formation of tissue because of incomplete genesis.

Congenital malformations of the eyelids which have their origin within embryo-genesis can occur solely or in combination with malformations of other parts of the body.

There are different kinds of forms in the course of so-called „ocular syndromes“.

If there are no secondary complications and if there is a normal development of vision, a surgical intervention can be postponed until the child gets older.

If further complications or dysfunctions get obvious, as e.g. corneal alterations, a surgical correction ought to be made. If there is the need of an immediate intervention, there are some medical centres specialized in oculoplastic surgery which are even able to operate on babies.
