Amblyopia in Congenital Ptosis

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1995
ABSTRACT This study evaluates the association between congenital ptosis and amblyopia. Amblyopia was detected in 7 of 36 (19%) patients with congenital ptosis. Two patients (6%) with amblyopia had no contributing factors other than the presence of congenital ptosis.

Aniridia and congenital ptosis

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1975
Congential ptosis associated with aniridia was found in 3 patients from 2 pedigrees. Nonsurgical aphakia, a condition not previously reported in association with aniridia, was also found in one case. The association of aniridia and congenital ptosis is suggested as evidence for the common mesodermal etiology of both anomalies.

Congenital ptosis and associated congenital malformations

Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2004
We report a case of unilateral congenital ptosis which is associated with ocular and systemic congenital malformations including mild microphthalmia, microcornea, cataract, iris and chorioretinal coloboma, ectopic kidney, and ventricular septal defect.

Aponeurotic Defects in Congenital Ptosis

Ophthalmology, 1979
Levator aponeurosis disinsertion is an accepted etiologic factor in some acquired ptosis cases, but it has not previously been reported as a cause of congenital ptosis. Forty-six congenitally ptotic eyelids in 36 patients with no history of birth trauma were surgically explored and three eyelids were found to have levator disinsertions. All three cases

Congenital Ptosis in Monozygotic Twins

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 1990
A case of concordance for unilateral congenital ptosis in monozygotic twins is presented. The literature on genetics and congenital ptosis is reviewed. A heritability index is calculated for congenital ptosis, based on all current twin data including the present report. A value for the heritability index of 0.75 is found, suggesting a strong hereditary

Unilateral Congenital Ptosis

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 1993
Patients with unilateral congenital ptosis often adopt chin elevation to maintain fusion. This compensatory head posturing has been considered a sign of fusion, thus indicating a low risk for amblyopia. To evaluate this sign, we reviewed the charts of 11 preverbal children with unilateral congenital ptosis who had straight eyes and appropriate ...

Congenital ptosis with esotropia in brothers

Clinical Dysmorphology, 2003
Two brothers are reported with congenital ptosis and esotropia, one of whom also has polythelia. This particular constellation of clinical features has not previously been described, although comparison with recorded families does show significant overlap with the pedigree reported by Frydman et al.

The Aponeurotic Approach to Congenital Ptosis

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1990
ABSTRACT Using a surgical technique directed at the levator aponeurosi, we successfully corrected 228 cases of congenital ptosis. The advantages of this approach are: normal anatomic planes and structures of the eyelid are maintained; basic and reflex tear secretion, goblet cells, or meibomian glands remain undisturbed, allowing maintenance ...
