Palpebral Fissure Changes After Monobloc Frontofacial Advancement in Faciocraniosynostosis
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2008There is virtually no literature on the effect of correction of syndromal faciocraniosynostosis with monobloc advancement on the palpebral fissure shape. Using image processing software, we measured the effect of monobloc advancement on the position of the upper and lower eyelids as well as the palpebral fissure slant in a series of 18 patients with ...

Narrowing of the palpebral fissure in diabetes
Documenta Ophthalmologica, 1983In 204 adult, white diabetics the palpebral fissure was measured and related to the state of metabolic control of the diabetes. A control group was formed of 204 persons matched by age and sex. The average palpebral fissure in the control group was 9.9 mm: there was a slight, but not significant, difference between the age groups and the sexes.

Quantification of Palpebral Fissure Shape in Severe Congenital Blepharoptosis
Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 1999To measure palpebral fissure morphology in patients with severe congenital blepharoptosis.The palpebral fissure shape of 20 patients (30 eyes) with severe congenital blepharoptosis (levator excursion < or = 4 mm) was quantified with digital image processing in a cross-sectional design.

Palpebral Fissure Changes in the Contralateral Eye in Duane Retraction Syndrome
Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 2023Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) is a congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder that is characterized by paradoxical lateral rectus muscle innervation of the affected eye by axons meant to innervate the ipsilateral medial rectus muscle, with resultant varying degrees of co-contraction.

Restoring Palpebral Fissure Shape after Previous Lower Blepharoplasty
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2003The youthful palpebral fissure can be described as long and narrow. Both the aging process and transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty can cause descent of the lower lid margin and medial migration of the lateral canthus, resulting in a rounding of the palpebral fissure.

The association between ocular dominance and physiological palpebral fissure asymmetry
Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition, 2016Physiological palpebral fissure asymmetry is a common observation in a physician's everyday practice. The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between palpebral fissure height (PFH) and ocular dominance. Sixty-nine healthy volunteers (42 female, 27 male) were included in this research, and ocular dominance was determined using hole-in-the-

Comparison of Palpebral Fissure Obliquity in Three Different Racial Groups
Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2001To compare the obliquity of the palpebral fissures of three different racial populations.Prospective observational study. Frontal views of the palpebral fissures of three different groups of subjects (Brazilian whites, Brazilian Japanese, and Brazilian Indians from the Upper Rio Negro Basin of the Amazonas State) were acquired with a photographic ...

Selective Alteration of Palpebral Fissure Form by Lateral Canthopexy
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1984A method is described for altering the shape and position of the palpebral fissure at the lateral canthus. Three steps are essential to alter shape and position. They are (1) identification of a lateral canthal soft-tissue mass consisting of periosteum, lateral canthal ligament, and orbicularis muscle, (2) extensive subperiosteal soft-tissue ...

Causes of Undercorrection of Medial Palpebral Fissures in Blepharoptosis Surgery
Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2004To ascertain the cause of undercorrection of the medial palpebral fissure in blepharoptosis surgery.Twelve upper eyelids of 6 Asian cadavers, 4 male and 2 female (average age at death, 77.5 years), were studied. After exposing the levator muscle by removing bone of the superior orbital rim, the levator muscle and medial and lateral horns of aponeurosis

Treatment of A-pattern Esotropia with Marked Mongoloid Slanting Palpebral Fissures
Japanese Journal of Ophthalmology, 2001The association of oblique palpebral fissures and A- or V-pattern has not been clarified. We report two cases of A-pattern esotropia with marked mongoloid slanting palpebral fissures associated with vertical displacement of the horizontal rectus muscle.Case 1 was a boy with Prader-Willi syndrome.
