Abstract
Ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum (AFA) is a rare congenital anomaly consisting of
a partial or complete fusion of the eyelid margins. It is usually an isolated and
benign malformation but its presence should alert the neonatologist because it can
be rarely associated to other important multisystemic disorders. We report a case
of a newborn presenting with isolated AFA at birth, treated in the first day of life.
