Acute onset transient ectropion associated with corneal ulcer.

We report a case of transient ectropion associated with corneal ulcer. The corneal ulcer responded well to treatment with fortified gentamicin and cefazolin. As the corneal ulcer healed, the eyelid simultaneously returned to its original position. We suggest that in the presence of involutional eyelid changes, even a minimal additional factor, such as conjunctival edema and blepharospasm, may cause transient ectropion.
