The lower-lid retractors in congenital entropion and epiblepharon

R Jordan. Ophthalmic Surg. 1993 Jul.

Abstract

A case of congenital entropion is presented in which the lower-lid crease was lost during entropion surgery, yielding a postoperative condition resembling an epiblepharon. The case suggests that deficiencies in the lower-lid retractor fibers are a key factor in the pathogenesis of both congenital entropion and epiblepharon.
