description Ankyloblepharon is defined by partial or complete adhesion of the ciliary edges of superior and inferior eyelids. It is usually a sporadic isolated malformation in which the upper and lower lids are joined by tags.

We report a case of a new born who had a sporadic ankyloblepharon, treated one day after birth.
