“…However, it is neither cosmetically acceptable nor gives constant and reproducible results. Allergic reactions to the material and corneal abrasions secondary to corneal irritation from the edge of the patch limit its use (19)(20) . Some authors evaluated the use of botulinum toxin as a temporary treatment in patients awaiting surgical repair for involutional entropion and observed improvements in signs and symptoms (21) .…”

“…One possible method is temporary correction by taping the lower lid to the adjacent zygomatic region with adhesive strips to invert the lower lacrimal point into the lacrimal lake. Adhesive strips have only been used in individual cases to correct lagophthalmos, entropion or ptosis of the eyebrow [ 12 - 15 ]. There have thus far been no systematic examinations of the correction of paralytic ectropion in a patient population for acceptance of this procedure as a conservative treatment method.…”

IntroductionVarious surgical procedures are available to correct paralytic ectropion, which are applied in irreversible facial paresis. Problems occur when facial paresis has an unclear prognosis, since surgery of the lower eyelid is usually irreversible. We propose a simple method to correct temporary ectropion in facial palsy by applying an adhesive strip.Patients and methodsTen patients with peripheral facial paresis and paralytic ectropion were treated with an adhesive strip to correct paralytic ectropion. We used "Steri-Strips" (45 × 6.0 mm), which were taped on the carefully cleaned skin of the lower eyelid and of the adjacent zygomatic region until the prognosis of the paresis was clarified. In addition to the examiner's evaluation of the lower lacrimal point in the lacrimal lake, subjective improvement of the symptoms was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS, 1–10).Results9 patients reported a clear improvement of the symptoms after adhesive taping. There was a clear regression of tearing (VAS (median) = 8; 1 = no improvement, 10 = very good improvement), the cosmetic impairment of the adhesive tape was low (VAS (median) = 2.5; 1 = no impairment, 10 = severe impairment) and most of the patients found the use of the adhesive strip helpful. There was slight reddening of the skin in one case and well tolerated by the facial skin in the other cases.ConclusionThe cause and location of facial nerve damage are decisive for the type of surgical therapy. In potentially reversible facial paresis, procedures should be used that are easily performed and above all reversible without complications. Until a reliable prognosis of the paresis can be made, adhesive taping is suited for the temporary treatment of paralytic ectropion. Adhesive taping is simple and can be performed by the patient.

“…Ademais, quanto mais prontamente for corrigido melhores serão os resultados (VAALA et al, 2006). Os casos podem ser corrigidos temporariamente mediante pregueamento palpebral com suturas verticais do tipo Lembert ou colchoeiro (WILKIE, 2000;WOUK et al, 2009), fita adesiva (IRVINE et al, 1994), aplicação de agrafos cirúrgicos (SLATTER, 2005) ou aplicações subcutâneas de antibióticos, parafina, óleo mineral (GELATT; GELATT, 1994;HEDLUND, 2007) ou toxina botulínica (CLARKE; SPALDON, 1988;STEEL et al, 1997). Em alguns casos, essas técnicas podem resolver o problema definitivamente (SANCHEZ; GIGUÈRE, 2012).…”

Um potro, macho, meio sangue Quarto de Milha, de 15 dias de idade, pesando 76 kg, foi admitido para avaliação oftalmológica. Ao término do exame físico concluiu-se que o animal apresentava entrópio da pálpebra inferior esquerda, fazendo com que os cílios entrassem em contato com o globo ocular, irritando-o e causando dor, epífora, blefaroespasmo e ceratite; o teste de fluoresceína foi positivo. Optou-se, então, pela correção cirúrgica através da técnica de Hotz-Celsus modificada. Durante 20 dias o animal permaneceu sob cuidados constantes, curativos e administração de medicamentos. Após esse período, o mesmo obteve alta hospitalar, apresentando-se alerta, responsivo aos estímulos visuais, sem sinais de dor, blefaroespasmo ou epífora; o teste de fluoresceína foi negativo. Nas condições em que esse estudo foi desenvolvido, concluímos que a técnica de Hotz-Celsus modificada apresentou resultado satisfatório na remissão dos sinais clínicos e na correção do entrópio de pálpebra inferior do equino meio sangue Quarto de Milha.Palavras chave: Equino.

THE MODIFIED HOTZ-CELSUS TECHNIQUE TO CORRECT CONGENITAL ENTROPION IN FOAL -CASE REPORT SUMMARY:A foal, male, Quarter Horse half blood, 15 days old, weighing 76 kg, was admiteed to for an ophthalmic evaluation. At the end of the physical examination was concluded that the animal had left lower eyelid entropion, causing the eyelashes to get in touch with the eye, irritating it and causing pain, epiphora, blepharospasm and keratitis; fluorescein test was positive. It was decided then by the surgical technique modified Hotz-Celsus. During 20 days the animal remained under constant care, dressings and drug delivery. After this period, it was discharged, was alert, responsive to visual stimuli, no signs of pain, blepharospasm or epiphora; fluorescein test was negative. From the way this study was conducted, we conclude that Hotz-Celsus technique modified presented satisfactory result in remission of clinical signs and entropion correction lower eyelid of the foal.
