Abstract
A six-month-old, female Scottish fold cat was presented to our Surgery Department of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Istanbul-Cerrahpasa due to complaints of blepharospasm, keratitis and epiphora in right eyes present since birth. In the ocular examination, lacking a part of the palpebra in the right eye and secondary trichiasis were observed. Palpebral defects and secondary trichiasis were repaired using an epilation, cauterization and modified Holtz-Celsus surgical technique. This technique provided a good cosmetic appearance and functional outcome to the patient.
