| Popis: | OBJECTIVE The surgical treatment of myogenic ptosis accompanying extraocular muscle paralysis is an intractable problem in the field of oculoplastic surgery due to the severe complications such as exposure keratopathy. It is promising to find an appropriate procedure to treat this kind of patients, which is able to ensure the safety and efficacy. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed 12 eyes of 6 patients who underwent the under-corrected "double V-Loop" frontalis suspension sling procedure for myogenic ptosis accompanying extraocular muscle paralysis and access the safety and efficacy of this kind of surgery. All the patients underwent corneal fluorescein staining and confocal microscopy before and after the surgery to inspect the corneal condition. The density of central corneal epithelial cells and endothelial cells were observed. RESULTS After the surgery, the eyelids contour was natural, and the symmetry was achieved in these cases. The average palpebral fissures height changed from 2.75 ± 1.41 mm to 4.50 ± 0.35 mm (P = 0.0007) and margin reflex distance 1 changed from -1.25 ± 1.22 mm to +0.50 ± 0.35 mm (P = 0.0002). Out of 12 operated eyes, mild postoperative lagophthalmos was present in 4 cases but without exposure keratopathy during the follow-up, the confocal microscopy showed that there were no significant differences in central corneal superficial epithelial cells (P = 0.93) and endothelial cells (P = 0.90) before and after the surgery. CONCLUSION The under-corrected "double V-Loop" frontalis suspension sling is a proper surgery in myogenic ptosis accompanying extraocular muscle paralysis, which leads to a low occurrence of exposure keratopathy, maintains the integrity of the cornea, and remains the patients' vision function. |
