Lid retractors desinsertion in acquired ptosis and involutional lower lid entropion: surgical implications.
BACKGROUND: An association exists between upper and/or lower lid retractors' desinsertion and acquired ptosis and/or involutional lower lid entropion.
METHOD: By highlighting the similarities that exist in the anatomy of the upper and lower lid retractors a possible pathophysiological mechanism leading to acquired ptosis and involutional lower lid entropion is suggested. As a logical consequence, in case of desinsertion, it is proposed to reattach the lid retractors to the tarsus.
RESULTS: With this simple "physiological" surgical approach it is possible to treat with success a great majority of acquired ptosis and/or involutional lower lid entropion.
CONCLUSION: Repairing upper and/or lower lid retractors' desinsertion can cure acquired ptosis and/or involutional lower lid entropion.
