Background: children with severe ptosis
and poor levator function have a significant
visual handicap. Frontalis suspension is
usually used as the procedure of choice for
those children. It is an efficient and simple
method of treatment. However, many
investigators believe that eventually all
those cases will recur regardless of the
sling material. Super-maximum levator
resections (27 - 30 mm) can be integrated ,
with superior tarsectomyto refine the ptosis
corrective procedure in cases having poor
levator function. |
