Ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum: congenital eyelid-band syndromes

Y Rosenman et al. Am J Dis Child. 1980 Aug.

Abstract

Three infants had congenital eyelid bands, ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum (AFA), in association with cleft lip and palate. A review of the literature of all previously reported cases of AFA was performed and a new classification of the various clinical types of AFA is proposed. This new classification should aid in genetic counseling.
