Currently, due to the lack of long-term postoperative follow-up outcomes of the congenital divided eyelid nevus, we described our surgical approaches and presented the functional and cosmetic results of 13 patients with an average of 5-year follow-up. Based on the surgical treatments and the follow-ups, the selection of total or subtotal excision depends on the lesion location and the use of blepharoplasty approaches is determined by defect size. The CO2 laser may be a useful second-stage procedure to ablate remnant lesions, but long-term monitoring is required.
