Acquired Lower Eyelid Epiblepharon - 06/08/14
Résumé |
Purpose |
Although congenital epiblepharon is a relatively common condition, particularly in Asians, acquired lower eyelid epiblepharon is rare.
Method |
We examined an 8-year-old boy who developed unilateral lower eyelid epiblepharon after a subciliary incisional approach for repair of a zygomatico-orbital fracture.
Results |
The patient demonstrated an overriding fold of right lower eyelid skin and loss of the lower eyelid crease. At the time of surgical repair, disruption and scarring of the lower eyelid retractors, suborbicularis fascia, and orbital septum were noted. The epiblepharon was successfully corrected by plication of the retractors and skin to the tarsus.
Conclusion |
Disruption of the anterior subcutaneous fibers of the lower eyelid retractors (that is, capsulopalpebral fascia) contributes to epiblepharon.
