Archives of Ophthalmology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)
|March 1, 1983
Summary
Lower lid retractor aponeurosis disinsertion may cause congenital entropion, challenging the role of orbicularis muscle hypertrophy. Surgical reinsertion of retractors successfully corrected the condition in affected infants.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Involutional entropion is often linked to lower lid retractor aponeurosis disinsertion.
- Congenital entropion etiology is not fully understood, with orbicularis muscle hypertrophy commonly cited.
