A physical examination was made to a newborn of the black race with malformations at the time of delivery. His upper and lower eyelids were united by a variable number of fine bands that impeded the separation and the normal movements. It was also associated with cleft lip and palate. After discarding other congenital malformations, he was operated on to repair the malformation. His present state is normal after the recanalization of his other abnormalities.
