Abstract
Palpebral malformations can be isolated or associated with a craniofacial disorder. Their assessment is based on clinical examination; additional investigations are mainly done to characterize craniofacial syndromes. In case of extrapalpebral lesions or complex craniofacial pathology, genetic testing must be performed. Some isolated malformations will only need a simple follow-up; others must have specific treatment, undertaken following a precise timing, taking into account child and anatomical structures' growth and the possible consequences of the malformation on the eye and child's sight (degree of urgency). When dealing with these malformations, there are two main risks to be taken into consideration: corneal irritation due to lagophtalmos and amblyopia owing to visual axis obstruction, anisometropia or strabismus.
