description PURPOSE: To report a case of complete bilateral congenital upper eyelid eversion associated with severe chemosis in a newborn, and to describe a semi-invasive technique for its management. CASE REPORT: The patient was a four-hour-old Nigerian neonate with bilateral congenital upper eyelid eversion with severe and progressive chemosis. Conservative management failed to resolve the condition. However, compression eyelid sutures resulted in prompt and satisfactory resolution. CONCLUSION: Compression eyelid suturing is a semi-invasive technique for management of severe chemosis due to congenital upper lid eversion resulting in rapid and satisfactory resolution of the condition.
