Congenital and acquired blepharoptosis
Current Opinion in Opthalmology, 1999Blepharoptosis is a relatively common condition that is frequently encountered by the ophthalmic surgeon. Treatment remains somewhat unpredictable, and the choice of one of the various surgical options depends on the cause of the ptosis and the amount of levator function.

Bilateral blepharoptosis in a juvenile
Brain and Development, 2017In adults, aponeurotic blepharoptosis is the most common type of ptosis. However, myogenic ptosis is the predominant cause, and bilateral aponeurotic ptosis is very rare among children. Here, we report a previously healthy 10-year-old Japanese girl with bilateral aponeurotic blepharoptosis who presented initially with bilateral blepharoptosis for about

Blepharoptosis: diagnostic tests
Vestnik oftal'mologii, 2016The article discusses diagnostic algorithms for blepharoptosis in patients with Horner's syndrome, myasthenia, chronic progressive ophthalmoplegia, myotonic dystrophy, and acute neurovascular events. Basic methods for evaluating the upper eyelid position and ptosis severity as well as special pharmacologic stress tests to reveal the true etiology of ...

Evaluation and Management of Blepharoptosis
Facial Plastic Surgery, 2022AbstractDrooping of the upper eyelid margin, aka blepharoptosis or “ptosis,” is common. Whether the ptosis is severe or mild, congenital or acquired, aponeurotic or neuropathic or myopathic, proper management always begins with a detailed history and evaluation of the patient.

Yohimbine Potentiation of Reserpine Blepharoptosis
Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1962Yohimbine, with an oral LD60 in mice of 36.5 mg./Kg. (S.E. = ±3.02), does not show any reserpine-like sedative-blepharoptotic activity in nonlethal dosage. Using factorially designed, graded response assays, yohimbine was shown to potentiate reserpine palpebral ptosis significantly for at least 5 hours when administered concurrently with and at the ...

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1980
Nineteen eyelids were examined histologically in cases of involutional blepharoptosis. Aponeurogenic defects were demonstrated in the majority of cases. A revised classification of acquired blepharoptosis, and the procedure of choice for the correction of this entity are discussed.

A thorough understanding of upper eyelid anatomy is essential for the ptosis surgeon. The upper eyelid consists of skin, orbicularis, septum, tarsus, levator, Muller’s muscle, and conjunctiva. The skin and orbicularis form the anterior lamella. Conceptually, the orbicularis may be subdivided according to its topography into pretarsal, preseptal, and ...

Approach to a patient with blepharoptosis
Neurological Sciences, 2016Blepharoptosis or drooping of upper eye lid is a common, but non-specific sign of neurological diseases which sometimes could herald a life-threatening disorder. First, the diagnosis of ptosis should be established by considering four clinical measurements: palpebral fissure height, marginal reflex distance, upper eyelid crease, and levator function ...
