Congenital Ptosis
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of levator muscle resection with plication in mild to moderate congenital unilateral blepharoptosis.
Detailed description
Blepharotosis is one of the most encountered oculoplastic problems. Blepharoptosis is an abnormal low lying upper eyelid margin more than 2mm below the superior corneal limbus in the primary gaze position. It can be subdivided according to the amount of levator function into poor (0-5),fair (6-11) or good (12 or more) millimeter. It can be classified also according to the degree of ptosis into mild (2mm) moderate (3mm) and severe ( 4mm or more). Surgical options for each of these groups are based on levator function as well as the degree and the cause of ptosis.
