Primary congenital upper eyelid entropion in association with Duane's retraction syndrome

Congenital eyelid retraction.

Twenty two patients with primary congenital lid retraction affecting either the upper or lower eyelids or both are presented. The clinical features and management are discussed in the hope that recognition of this clinical entity will prevent unnecessary investigation.

Supernumerary orbital muscle in congenital eyelid retraction.

PURPOSE Although several reports of supernumerary orbital muscles related to the levator palpebrae superioris have been published, no case has been associated with congenital eyelid retraction. This report describes an apparent causal relationship between an accessory levator muscle slip and congenital eyelid retraction. METHODS Case report and literature review. RESULTS Release of the anom...

Eyelid Retraction in Isolated Unilateral Congenital Blepharoptosis

Isolated unilateral congenital ptosis is encountered relatively infrequently in clinical practice. It typically consists of a unilateral droopy eyelid, weak levator palpebrae superioris muscle function, lid lag, and an absent upper lid crease with no other abnormalities on examination. We present a four-and-a-half-year-old girl with isolated and mild unilateral congenital ptosis who unexpectedl...

Bedside repair of congenital upper eyelid entropion: A variation of the Quickert suture technique

Purpose The current literature is void of any lasting bedside treatments for congenital upper eyelid entropion repair. Observations A six-day old male was born with bilateral upper eyelid entropion associated with a duplication of the long arm of chromosome 3q11.1-q24. Conservative management with ocular lubrication and observation did not yield spontaneous resolution, and surgical interventi...
