Linear scleroderma en coup de sabre with ophthalmic findings has been previously described in the literature on numerous occasions. A 57-year-old woman presented with focal trichiasis secondary to tarsal thinning, adjacent to a linear brow and forehead deformity consistent with linear scleroderma en coup de sabre. Cases of linear scleroderma en coup de sabre involving the eyelids have been reported, most often with madarosis, ptosis, or skin atrophy; however, to the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of linear scleroderma associated with trichiasis and involvement of the deeper eyelid tissues, particularly the tarsus.

Patients with localized scleroderma on the face typically exhibit asymmetrical linear or patchy skin lesions and indentations on areas such as the scalp and forehead, with a smooth, waxy surface. In the early stages, medication is used to control the progression of the disease. In later stages, plastic surgery is performed to repair facial skin lesions.

Article Synopsis
- Morphea, or localized scleroderma, is an autoimmune disease marked by excessive collagen buildup in the skin, with unclear causes that may include genetic, environmental, and epigenetic factors.
- Advances in medicine suggest genetic and epigenetic influences may significantly impact the disease's risk and progression, highlighting the role of factors like microRNAs and DNA methylation.
- New treatment options, including biological therapies and JAK inhibitors, show promise based on case studies, underscoring the need for further exploration of morphea's pathogenesis and treatment strategies.
