The levator aponeurosis exposed

Rebecca R Stack et al. Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2008 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

A case of bilateral upper eyelid ptosis in an HIV-infected patient with severe antiretroviral-associated facial lipodystrophy is presented. The features, treatment, and outcome are discussed. Dehiscence of the levator aponeurosis may be directly associated with highly active antiretroviral therapy-induced lipodystrophy.
