Abstract

Congenital eyelid coloboma is a full- or partial-thickness defect of the eyelids caused by failure of fusion of the embryonic fissure during embryological development. The aim of this study is to provide information regarding the modified reverse Tenzel semicircular flap procedure in the management of bilateral upper eyelid coloboma. The conventional Tenzel semicircular flap stabilizes the eyelid margins and ensures adequate eye opening and closing functions. However, a modified Tenzel semicircular flap provides enhanced cosmetic results.
