Coloboma in progressive hemifacial atrophy

Abstract

Over a seven-year period, a 22-year-old woman developed clinical linear scleroderma with associated ipsilateral coloboma of the upper eyelid, blepharoptosis, enophthalmos, and impairment of extraocular motility. Reconstructive surgery included correction of the enophthalmos by Silastic block implant, closure of the coloboma, and resection of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle for correction of the blepharoptosis.
