Home Care:

There is no special care for palpebral slant. Instead, you should treat the condition that is causing palpebral slant.

Call your health care provider if:

Contact your health care provider if:

• Your infant has abnormal facial features
• You are concerned about your infant's ability to move his or her eyes
• You notice any abnormal color, swelling, or discharge from the eyes

What to expect at your health care provider's office:

Your health care provider will get a medical history and will do a physical examination.

Medical history questions might include:

• What is the slant (does the outer corner slant upward or downward)?
• What other symptoms are present?

An infant with an abnormal palpebral slant generally has other symptoms and signs of a specific condition. Diagnosis of that condition will be based on a family history, medical history, and a thorough physical exam.

Laboratory studies such as chromosome studies, enzyme assays, x-rays, and metabolic studies may be ordered to confirm a suspected disorder.
