Spontaneous resolution of congenital Brown's Syndrome – a case report

INTRODUCTION: The natural history of congenital Brown Syndrome is poorly understood and documented. In our experience, few adult cases are encountered in clinical practice. CASE PRESENTATION: A case of bilateral congenital Brown syndrome is described, showing spontaneous resolution of clinical signs...

description INTRODUCTION: The natural history of congenital Brown Syndrome is poorly understood and documented. In our experience, few adult cases are encountered in clinical practice. CASE PRESENTATION: A case of bilateral congenital Brown syndrome is described, showing spontaneous resolution of clinical signs. Evidence of almost complete resolution over the years is also shown on serial Lees charts. CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, an objective record of such progressive improvement has not been previously reported. Knowledge of the natural history of Congenital Browns syndrome is useful in understanding the mechanism and also in the decision to delay surgery until full orbital growth has occurred.
