Current management of childhood ptosis

Abstract: The management of ptosis in infants and children demands a structured and disciplined approach to avoid the development of amblyopia and long-term visual compromise. Underlying systemic problems must be identified and surgical planning discussed in a timely fashion with caregivers. Recent studies help to further define the proper timing of surgical intervention and the optimal techniques to provide the best long-term results for these patients.

“…Congenital ptosis is an idiopathic condition usually non-progressive, with signs confined to the affected eyelid (SooHoo et al 2014). Anterior approach levator resection (ALR) is considered an effective treatment, including severe cases with poor levator function, as this operation maintains the physiological vector of the levator muscle (Mokhtarzadeh & Harrison 2014) while shortening its length in order to increase its function (Weaver 2018).…”

“…In the patients who were older than 4 years old, autogenous fascia lata was used as the suspension material. In patients younger than 4 years old for whom the autogenous fascia lata was hard to harvest, and in patients who were deficient of ocular protection, silicone rod was used as the suspension material instead of autogenous fascia lata [28]. All surgical procedures were performed by one senior oculoplastic surgeon (JY).…”
