Clinical Presentation Tarsal kink presents as a unilateral or bilateral upper eyelid entropion at birth. It is usually associated with marked blepharospasm and an absent lid crease. Corneal ulceration is present in roughly half of patients. [link.springer.com]

We present a technique of tarsal stabilization which corrected this upper lid deformity in one case. Congenital entropion with persistent corneal ulceration is not common. [proquest.com]

Case Presentation An otherwise healthy newborn was presented after delivery with forceps with marked unilateral purulent secretion and blepharospasm. [thieme-connect.com]

TREATMENT Prompt recognition and treatment of this condition is essential to prevent significant corneal injury and amblyopia. Treatment depends upon the severity of the tarsal deformity. [mhealthknowledge.org]

The therapeutic contact lens was removed, and the recommendation was made to continue the topical treatment with emulsified vitamin A, artificial tears with hyaluronic acid and light anti-inflammatory steroid treatment to recover corneal transparency. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology and Pathogenesis The etiology of congenital tarsal kink is unknown. [entokey.com]

Etiology The etiology of tarsal kink is unclear but possibilities include a primary tarsal defect, an aponeurotic defect, overacting orbicularis fibers, an exogenous mechanical force in utero, or an eyelid disjunction defect in utero. [link.springer.com]

Although the etiology of the lid malformation is not known, we postulate various environmental causes. The promptness of the correct diagnosis and treatment in preventing serious corneal injury and amblyopia is emphasized. [proquest.com]
