Abstract
Purpose:
To report ocular findings in a patient with cutis laxa acquisita.
Methods:
Case report
Results:
A 44-year-old man complained of excessively loose skin for 4 years and had no family history of skin disease. Dermatological examination showed lax and wrinkled skin all over his body. He had bilateral subconjunctival fat prolapse and dermatochalasis.
Conclusions:
This case of acquired form of cutis laxa is noteworthy because subconjunctival fat prolapse and dermatochalasis are uncommon at this relatively young age.
