A seven-year-old boy presented with a diagnosed congenital divided nevus of the eyelid, which was a continuous nevus that affects the upper and lower eyelid [Figure1] A and B. Divided nevus of the eyelid is a rare pathologic entity and develops during foetal growth, when the two eyelids are still fused together. Its surgical treatment is mostly based on full thickness skin grafts [Figure - 1]D. This case of divided nevus of the eyelid was typical and worth taking a photograph, unexpectedly, the intelligent eye reflecting the doctor perfectly [Figure - 1]B and C.
