A 2-year-old black Nigerian infant presented with eversion of the upper eyelids which followed an episode of presumed measles conjunctivitis. Eversion recurred despite patching and taping, but was terminated by facial akinesia and placement of lid sutures. Orbicularis spasm undoubtedly plays a role in the pathophysiology of this disorder, acting together with other etiologic factors.
