Surgical Approach to Ankyloblepharon Filiforme Adnatum in a Case Report

Ankyloblepharon filiform adnatum is a rare congenital condition. We report the case of a premature eutrophic neonate delivered vaginally at 32 weeks' gestation, weighing 1250 g, female, from an unattended twin pregnancy. The eyelids were partially connected by a membrane on the outer 1/3 of the right eye and almost completely connected on the left eye. The second newborn died 24 hours after delivery. The eyelids were examined without any particularities. There were no associated malformations. We received the newborn two months after birth. Management was surgical and the therapeutic procedure was not haemorrhagic, and the visual axis cleared immediately postoperatively.
