Brief summary
This work aims to describe and assess the efficacy of transcutaneous levator palpebrea superioris muscle recession as a surgical procedure for treatment of upper lid retraction of various causes other than thyroid eye disease
Interventions
PROCEDURETranscutaneous levator recession
recession of the upper and lower eyelid retractors can improve the upper eyelid contour if the patient has lateral flare (common in TED). The choice of procedure depends on severity of lid retraction and associated features like proptosis, status of extraocular muscles, and corneal condition
