Abstract

Coloboma of the upper eyelid is a rare congenital disease. It is defined as an agenesis of the eyelid free edge. Multiple patho-physiological theories exist about its etiology. The surgical therapeutic management of this malformation is clearly codified. We illustrate the presentation by two cases treated in the Groupement Hospitalier Nord of Lyon University Hospital.

Keywords: Coloboma; Colobome; Congenital malformation; Eyelid; Malformation congénitale; Paupière.
