Ascher's Syndrome, a subtype of anetodermia, is a rare disease characterized by the association, in different degrees, of upper eyelid laxity, lip swelling and increase in thyroid size. Its etiology is unknown, but there is evidence for a defect in elastic fibers, which are either fragmented or decreased in number. A case is reported of a 16-year-old patient with a single complaint: recurrent episodes of bilateral eyelid edema.
