A case of bilateral cryptophthalmia and euryblepharon with two-stage reconstruction.

Purpose: A two-stage reconstruction of cryptophthalmia and euryblepharon occurring in the same patient is described.

Methods: Case report.

Results: The 7-month-old patient underwent forniceal reconstruction and upper eyelid reformation in a two-stage procedure that used the excess lower eyelid tissue present in euryblepharon to augment the cryptophthalmia-related upper eyelid deficiency.

Conclusions: To reconstruct the eyelids of this patient with both cryptophthalmia and euryblepharon, we were able to use the manifestations of one disorder to address the deficiencies of the other.
