Absence or low individual and public risk
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.
What happens during the disease - congenital malformations of eyelid, lacrimal apparatus and orbit

- Ophthalmologic evaluation to assess the function of the eye muscles and the health of the optic nerve
- Biopsies of any affected tissue
- Blood tests to check for any underlying infections or metabolic disorders
- Tear duct testing to assess the functioning of the lacrimal apparatus
