“…The role of biopsy in diagnosis is unclear but may be most helpful when patients present outside an acute episode. Histopathological examinations have revealed increased vascularity of the eyelid,6 10 11 lymphocytic perivascular infiltrates,2 3 10 moderate dilatation of lymphatic vessels,10 IgA deposition at the margin of elastic fibres,2 3 10 decreased or complete absence of elastic fibres2 3 6–8 12 13 and degradation of collagen fibres 3. Blepharochalasis may thus be a form of localised idiopathic angioedema,6 10 13 a localised form of lymphoedema,10 or caused by an imbalance of overwhelming elastase or matrix metalloproteinase activity 1 3…”

“…There was no evidence of hereditary transmission. 4 Three broad stages in the clinical course of blepharochalasis have been described: a stage of intumescence or oedema, followed by the second stage of atonic ptosis, and, with the further relaxation of the orbital septum, the third stage of ptosis adiposa or fat hernia.' Our case was possibly in the early second stage.…”

The subject matter of this chapter comprises the major acquired disorders that affect mainly collagen and elastic tissue. The connective tissue of normal skin is discussed elsewhere. Heritable disorders of connective tissue, such as Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, are covered in another chapter, as are disorders of ground substance, such as the mucinoses and mucopolysaccharidoses. In addition, many disorders, including developmental defects, neoplasms and other reactive or scarring conditions, may involve the connective tissues. Although it can be convenient to separate conditions into disorders affecting collagen or elastic tissue, the distinction is somewhat artificial, as changes in these proteins are generally preceded by abnormal metabolism of other matrix components, such as fibronectin or periostin.
