Abstract

The ankyloblepharon filiform adnatum (AFA) is a rare congenital palpebral abnormality characterized by a partial non disjunction of the gray lines of upper and lower eyelids. We report two cases of newborns presenting with ankyloblepharon and highlight its potentially amblyogenic impact and the possible ocular and systemic associations.
