Abstract :
We had the opportunity to manage a case of bilateral ectropion in a collodion baby. Collodion baby is a rare congenital disorder characterized by parchment like taught membrane covering the whole body. Incidence of this condition is 1 in 300,000 live births.1 A three months old collodion baby was referred to us for management of bilateral ectropion. An appropriate-forgestational- age boy was born at 39 weeks’ gestation by a normal vaginal delivery of a 27-year- female, with an unremarkable pregnancy and of a non-consangious marriage.
