TL;DR: Hyaluronic acid gel shows promise as a safe and effective nonsurgical treatment for the management of certain eyelid malpositions, disorders traditionally requiring surgical intervention if aggressive ocular lubrication fails.
Abstract: Purpose: To report our preliminary experience using hyaluronic acid gel fillers as a nonsurgical alternative in the management of congenital eyelid malpositions Methods: In this retrospective interventional case series, 5 patients (10 eyes) with congenital eyelid malpositions, including eyelid retraction, ectropion, euryblepharon, epiblepharon, and abnormalities associated with a shallow orbit, with resultant lagophthalmos and/or keratopathy and tearing were evaluated before and after injection with hyaluronic acid gel (Restylane) in the pretarsal and/or septal regions of the affected eyelid(s) Pretreatment, posttreatment, and follow-up photographs were analyzed for eyelid position and degree of eyelid closure and lagophthalmos, and slit-lamp evaluation of the degree of keratopathy Results: All 5 patients demonstrated significant improvement of eyelid position and degree of keratopathy The mean improvement in lagophthalmos was 45 mm (range, 2‐7 mm) The average volume of hyaluronic acid gel used was 05 ml per eyelid Complications were minor, including transient edema and ecchymosis at the sites of injection Of the 10 eyelids injected, only one had increased astigmatism after injection Conclusions: Hyaluronic acid gel shows promise as a safe and effective nonsurgical treatment for the management of certain eyelid malpositions, disorders traditionally requiring surgical intervention if aggressive ocular lubrication fails This treatment is particularly useful in such patients who are commonly premature with poor general health and serves as a temporizing measure by allowing the much needed tissue expansion to take effect over time

TL;DR: A family with BCD that includes IA is reported on, confirming that anorectal anomalies are a part of BCD syndrome.
Abstract: Blepharocheilodontic (BCD) syndrome is a rare autosomal-dominant condition that is characterized by lower eyelid ectropion, upper eyelid distichiasis, euryblepharon, bilateral cleft lip and palate, and conical teeth. It exhibits considerable phenotypic variability among affected individuals. An additional rare associated manifestation is imperforate anus (IA), which has been reported in three cases [Guyuron et al. (1995); J Craniofac Surg 6:392–394; Gorlin et al. (1996); Am J Med Genet 65:109–112; da Silva Lopes et al. (2003); Am J Med Genet Part A 121A:266–270]. Here we report on a family with BCD that includes IA, confirming that anorectal anomalies are a part of BCD syndrome. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

TL;DR: Les malpositions congenitales palpebrales sont loin d’etre exceptionnelles and relevent de nombreuses formes cliniques, imposant dans ces derniers cas un schema therapeutique raisonne and coherent.
Abstract: Congenital eyelid malpositions can be isolated or associated with other structures such as the eyeball, ocular muscles, and lacrimal pathways. It is important to separate eyelid malpositions, which are topographical disorders, from eyelid malformations, which are constitutional morphological disorders. Only eyelid malpositions will be described in this paper, with a distinction made between static and dynamic disorders. Static disorders include epiblepharon, congenital ectropion and entropion, epicanthus, telecanthus, and centurion syndrome. Dynamic disorders group ptosis and congenital eyelid retractions. Epiblepharon is characterized by the absence of adhesion between the lower eyelid retractors and the orbicularis-skin layer, which allows the anterior lamella to roll over. Congenital entropion and ectropion are very rare. They most often require surgical treatment. Epicanthus involves a semi-lunar fold of skin extending from the upper eyelid across the medial canthal area to the margin of the lower eyelid. Four types (supra-ciliaris, palpebralis, tarsalis and inversus) of epicanthus are described. Treatment requires surgery. Telecanthus is defined as an increased distance between canthi. Primary telecanthus results from attenuation of the medial canthal tendons and is usually associated with other soft tIssue abnormalities such as epicanthus or blepharophimosis, or is seen after trauma. Secondary telecanthus is caused by underlying bony malpositions with an abnormal separation between the orbits because of an increased thickness of the interorbital bones such as that seen in hypertelorism or in other complex craniofacial syndromes. Euryblepharon is distinguished by an enlargement of the horizontal palpebral fissure associated with enlarged eyelids. The etiology is unknown and patients may benefit from surgery. Congenital ptosis is characterized by a deficiency of the levator muscle. They are most often unilateral and isolated. When associated with other abnormalities such as squint, synkinesis, blepharophimosis, or craniofacial syndromes, surgical treatment may require several-stage procedures. On the other hand, isolated congenital ptosis is usually treated in childhood (3-6 years) in a single stage. Congenital eyelid retractions may affect either the lower or the upper eyelid. They make up a rare condition and most cases are associated with craniofacial syndromes such as Crouzon or Apert syndromes. Upper eyelid retractions may spontaneously improve in some cases, but lower eyelid retractions do not. Treatment requires surgery, depending on the corneal consequences.
