- Floppy Eyelid Syndrome
- Involutional Ptosis
Acquired Anomalies: Floppy Eyelid Syndrome (1)
- How common is it and usually seen in whom?
- Uni or bilateral?
- What are they at risk for at night and why?
- 6 other Associations?
- Uncommon: But usually affects Obese Middle Aged Men
- Both (uni or bilateral LAX LID)
- Exposure Keratopathy; this is 2ndary to poor lid coverage at night
- Diabetes; Hyperelastic Skin; Joint Hypermobility; Keratoconus; Mental Retardation; Sleep Apnea
Acquired Anomalies: Floppy Eyelid Syndrome (2): Symptoms
- What is seen for the upper lid skin?
- What happens to the Tarsal Plate?
- What else is seen superiorly?
- 2 other things possible?
- Redundant upper lid skin
- becomes loose and rubbery: easily reverts w/pressure below the brow
- Chronic, Severe Micropapillary Conjunctivitis seen superiorly
- Keratopathy (Puncate, filamentary); and Superior Corneal Vascularization is possible
Acquired Anomalies: Floppy Eyelid Syndrome (3): Treatment
- What 2 things can be done?
- Mild: Lubrication
2. Severe: Horizontal Shortening of Upper Lids
Acquired Anomalies: Involutional Ptosis (1)
- Related to what?
- Usually uni or bi lateral?
- What is it?
- Tends to worsen when?
- Age-related
- Usually Bilateral
- Disinsertion, Stretching, rupture of aponeurosis of levator
- At the end of the day.
Acquired Anomalies: Involutional Ptosis (2): Symptoms
- Major symptom?
- What about the function of the Levator?
- Bilateral Ptosis w/very High upper lid crease. (crease may be absent in very severe cases)
- Good levator Function
Acquired Anomalies: Involutional Ptosis (3): Treatment
- 3 things can be done
- Levator Resection
- Levator Advancement with re-insertion
- Anterior Levator Repair
Acquired Anomalies: Dermatochalasis (1)
- What is it?
- Often associated with what?
- What defect is normally seen?
- What other 2 things are felt?
- Management?
- Laxity and redundancy of upper lid tissue
- with Prolapse of Orbital Fat
- Superior VF Defect (2ndary to Pseudoptosis)
- Heavy Sensation; Brow Ache
- Blepharoplasty (Remove excess skin)
Acquired Anomalies: Blepharochalasis (1)
- How common is it?
- What is it?
- Onset at what?
- Episodes resolve how?
- uncommon
- Recurrent episodes of painless Edema of Upper Lids
- At Puberty (Frequency decreases over time)
- Spontaneously in 1-2 days
Acquired Anomalies: Blepharochalasis (2)
- 3 Complications?
- Redundant Skin
- Orbital Fat Prolapse
- Ptosis (Severe Cases)
Acquired Anomalies: Blepharochalasis (3)
- 2 treatments possible
- Blepharoplasty
2. Ptosis Correction if Necessary
Acquired Anomalies: Eyelid Imbrication (1)
- How common is it?
- Uni or bi lateral?
- What is it?
- Associated with what 5 things?
- Uncommon
- Either
- Upper lid Overlaps the Lower Lid
- a. Complications from surgery
b. Eyelid tumors
c. Floppy Eyelid Syndrome
d. Mucous Membrane Disease
e. Self Injury
Acquired Anomalies: Eyelid Imbrication (2):
- 2 signs/symptoms?
- Chronic Papillary Conjunctivitis
2. Staining of upper lid margin
Acquired Anomalies: Eyelid Imbrication (3)
- 2 types of treatment?
- Surgery to correct for loose lids (full thickness wedge)
2. Other surgery to tighten lid position
Acquired Anomalies: Brow Ptosis (1)
- What is it?
- May be caused by what?
- Often Accompanies what other Acquired Anomaly?
- Treatment?
- Excessive Skin on brow and forehead, leading to a pseudoptosis
- due to 7th nerve palsy
- Dermatochalasis
- Brow Lift (Often combined with blepharoplasty)
Neurologic Lid Disorders
- 4 Facial/Eyelid Twitch Disorders?
- Benign Eyelid Twitch
- Benign Essential Blepharospasm
- Hemifacial Spasm
- Meige Syndrome
Neurologic Lid Disorders
- What other 2 disorders?
- Pseudo-Graefe
2. Marcus Gun Jaw Winking
Neurologic Lid Disorders: Benign Essential Blepharospasm (BEB) (1)
- How common is it?
- When does it normally present? (decade)
- More common in whom?
- What is it?
- Three types
- Uncommon, but a Distressful disorder
- In the 6th Decade
- Women
- Bilateral Involuntary Spasm of Orbicularis Oculi and Some facial Muscles
- Spastic BEB, Pseudo Apraxic BEB, and Combined BEB
Neurologic Lid Disorders: Benign Essential Blepharospasm (BEB) (2)
Spastic BEB (BEBs)
- What is ti?
- Frequency and Severity?
- When does it stop?
- Synchronous, Forceful closing of BOTH Eyes
- Varies
- Abates during sleep
Neurologic Lid Disorders: Benign Essential Blepharospasm (BEB) (3)
Pseudo-Apraxic BEB (BEBa)
- What is it?
- Can also be what?
- When does it stop?
- Combined BEB (BEBc): Is characteristic of what?
- Synchronous, Drifting close of eyes
- Asymmetric
- Abates during sleep
- of Both BEBs and BEBa
