Simple surgical approach for treatment of ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum: A case report.
Ankyloblepharon flliforme adnatum (AFA) is a rare congenital abnormality of the eyelids. Upper and lower eyelids are joined by single or multiple bands. ⋯ Treatment is quick, safe, and minimizes the risk of amblyopia. We report a case of newborn with isolated AFA at birth, treated by surgical excision of the band tissue.
