Abstract
We describe a 16-year-old male patient with congenital divided nevus of the eyelids who underwent surgical management using musculocutaneous and tarsoconjunctival flap, and discuss the alternative surgical approaches in the light of the literature. Musculocutaneous flap in conjunction with a tarsoconjunctical flap can be considered as a suitable surgical approach in the management of divided nevus. The patient's age, gender, the diameter of the lesion, and involvement degree of the entire tarsus, must be kept in mind before the surgery. If the surgical treatment method is tailored for the patient, a better cosmesis can be achieved.Entities:
