Collodion baby is a rare congenital condition marked by a parchment-like membrane covering the body, often leading to complications such as bilateral ectropion. This condition poses risks of exposure keratopathy and other ocular issues. We present a case series of five infants with congenital bilateral ectropion associated with collodion babies, all born prematurely. Each case was treated with varying management approaches, including topical therapies and surgical interventions, with Case 1 experiencing recurrence despite surgical intervention, while the rest four cases demonstrated successful outcomes through appropriate treatments. Regular follow-up was essential for monitoring. Early and individualized treatment strategies are crucial for preventing complications in collodion babies with ectropion. This case series highlights the need for tailored management to optimize patient outcomes in this rare condition.
火棉胶婴儿是一种罕见的先天性疾病,其特征是身体覆盖着类似羊皮纸的膜,常导致诸如双侧睑外翻等并发症。这种情况会带来暴露性角膜病变和其他眼部问题的风险。我们报告了一组五例与火棉胶婴儿相关的先天性双侧睑外翻婴儿病例,所有婴儿均为早产儿。每个病例都采用了不同的治疗方法,包括局部治疗和手术干预,病例1尽管进行了手术干预仍复发,而其余四例通过适当治疗取得了成功结果。定期随访对于监测至关重要。早期和个体化的治疗策略对于预防伴有睑外翻的火棉胶婴儿的并发症至关重要。该病例系列强调了在这种罕见疾病中需要采用量身定制的管理方法来优化患者预后。
