Bilabial double lip with blepharochalasis in Laffer‐Aschers syndrome: Report of a rare association

Abstract

AbstractBackgroundLaffer‐Aschers syndrome (LAS), a rare congenital idiopathic condition, is characterized by double upper lip, recurrent edema of upper eyelids (blepharochalasis), and occasional nontoxic goiter (NTG).Case PresentationTwo rare cases of bilabial double lip involvement in LAS are presented in young males with blepharochalasis, causing aesthetic concerns and requiring surgical correction for rehabilitation. Evaluation for NTG was negative in both cases. A rare association with alopecia areata was also noted in one case, reported only once before.ConclusionThe etiology, clinical features, differential diagnosis, investigations, and management are discussed with review of literature of bilabial double lip in LAS.
