Abstract
Congenital atrichia is a rare disorder and is often associated with various systemic diseases. Ocular involvement has also been reported. We report a rare case of congenital atrichia with recurrent episcleritis. To the best of our knowledge and after an extensive internet search, this is probably the first reported case of congenital atrichia with episcleritis. The association may be a co-incidental finding or may have a broader perspective. Hence, further studies are warranted.
