Madarosis is window of diagnosis to various diseases and disorders. Though the patient presents to the dermatologist or the ophthalmologist for the treatment of this disease, a consultation with various other departments is necessary for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of this condition. Madarosis occurs in leprosy frequently but its occurrence as a presenting manifestation of leprosy has seldom been reported. Here, we are presenting a case of lepromatous leprosy who presented with bilateral madarosis only with no obvious skin lesions of leprosy.
