Treatment of congenital unilateral upper eyelid retraction with a marginal myotomy procedure

A J Rovit et al. Ophthalmic Surg. 1988 Dec.

Abstract

Two children with congenital unilateral upper eyelid retraction were treated successfully with surgery at 2 years of age. Excellent results were obtained using a modification of Grove's marginal myotomy procedure for lengthening the levator palpebrae superiorus muscle. To our knowledge, early surgical treatment for this rare idiopathic disorder has not been reported previously.
