description Madarosis is window of diagnosis to various diseases and disorders. Though the patient presents to the dermatologist or the ophthalmologist for the treatment of this disease, a consultation with various other departments is necessary for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

Here, we are presenting a case of lepromatous leprosy who presented with bilateral madarosis only with no obvious skin lesions of leprosy.
