Congenital anomalies of the extraocular muscles apart from congenital fibrosis are relatively rare.

We present a case of unilateral congenital entropion and hypotropia resulting from duplication of the inferior rectus muscle.

Involutional entropion is most common and typically treated with lateral tarsal strip, which may be combined with other techniques for eyelid eversion.
