Abstract

Static myogenic ptosis can be caused by a variety of congenital or syndromic conditions that have levator muscle maldevelopment. The most common type of static myogenic ptosis is congenital ptosis, which is present at birth. Other causes include blepharophimosis ptosis epicanthus inversus syndrome, congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles, monocular elevation deficiency syndrome (formerly known as double elevator palsy), Marcus Gunn jaw-winking ptosis, Duane retraction syndrome, and traumatic ptosis. Here, we discuss evaluation and surgical management.

Key words

congenital ptosis - amblyopia - frontalis suspension - levator resection - blepharophimosis
