Q

In senile ptosis, what happens to the supratarsal crease?

A

The crease becomes cephalically displaced because of adhesion between the levator aponeurosis and dermis. The
superior crease moves with attenuation of the aponeurosis.

Q

What does correction of ptosis in one eye do in a bilateral case?

A

Correction will make the noncorrected side more ptotic, due to dual innervation—Hering’s law

A

Medial—submaxillary lymph nodes, lateral—parotid lymph nodes

36
Q

What is the function of the procerus?

A
