Abstract
Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of Check ligament suspension for congenital severe blepharoptosis.
Methods: From Jan.2015 to Jan.2016,28 cases with severe congenital ptosis were treated by suspension of Check ligament to tarsus. The postoperative effect, curve of upper eyelid and complication were recorded.
Results: All the patients were followed up for 3-12 months. Complete correction was achieved in 24 cases, while undercorrection in 4 cases. Among the 24 cases with good results, they had symmetric palpebral fissure and natural curve of upper eyelid. Eye closure function recovered within 6 months in 19 cases. No complication, like corneal exposure, happened. Among the 4 cases with undercorrection result,2 underwent no further treatment due to marked improvement,2 underwent re-operation 6 months after the first operation with good result.
Conclusions: Suspension can successfully correct severe congenital blepharoptosis with natural recovery of eyelid structure.
