Abstract :
Ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum (AFA) is
a very rare congenital disease which usually present to
ophthalmologists with only simply looking lid adhesion.
This condition may be multisystem involving syndromic
or may be isolated. We here reporting three cases of
isolated and one case of systemic association of varying
ages ranging from 3 days to 12 days and were well
managed surgically. Updated knowledge of physicians
about this condition can identify the syndromic
association which can prevent complication and save life
by timely intervention.
