Congenital malformations of eyelid, lacrimal apparatus and orbit - what does this mean
Congenital malformations of the eyelid, lacrimal apparatus and orbit occur when a baby is born with a structural defect in the eyelid, lacrimal apparatus (tear ducts) and/or orbit (eye socket). these defects can be caused by genetic mutations, environmental factors, or a combination of both. the severity of the malformation can range from mild (such as ptosis or drooping of the eyelid) to severe (such as complete absence of the eyelid). treatment for these malformations usually involves surgical correction.
