Abstract:
Twenty cases of severe progressive ophthalmoplegia (Myopathic ptosis) with significant ptosis were treated by various procedures, including levator resection with blepharoplasty or frontalis suspension using temporalis fascia. Surgical indications were generally limited to cases with poor or absent levator function. The results are analysed after an average follow-up of 6 months. The particular problems concerning surgery of myopathic ptosis are discussed.
