Abstract

Myogenic ptosis refers to a process intrinsic to the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, as opposed to its innervation or connective tissue (aponeurosis). This chapter introduces static and progressive forms of myogenic ptosis and an overview of their evaluation and management, with more detailed exploration in the following chapters.
