Unilateral Blepharoptosis from Renal Cell Carcinoma

Unilateral Blepharoptosis from Renal Cell Carcinoma

Blepharoptosis is the drooping or inferior displacement of the upper eyelid. Blepharoptosis can be either congenital or acquired. Tumour metastasis is one of the acquired causes of blepharoptosis. The lungs, locoregional lymph nodes, bone and liver are the usual sites of metastases of renal cell carcinoma (RCC); however, unusual locations of RCC have also been reported. Herein, we describe a ca...

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...

Congenital unilateral fibrosis, blepharoptosis, and enophthalmos syndrome.

The authors report four cases of the rarest form of the congenital fibrosis syndrome. This disorder is exhibited in infancy as unilateral blepharoptosis, strabismus, limited ductions, globe displacement (enophthalmos and blepharoptosis), and decreased vision, usually due to amblyopia. Forced ductions are positive and surgical exploration confirms anomalous muscle structure. Computed tomography ...
