Congenital total eversion of the upper eyelids.

Eight cases of bilateral and 6 cases of unilateral congenital total eversion of the upper eyelids are reported here. It is suggested that an appreciable overlapping of the lower eyelid margin by the upper eyelid is a predisposing factor in the mechanism of eversion in this condition. Treatment by injection of hyaluronidase into the chemotic conjunctiva followed by placement of a lid suture to revert the eyelid resolves the condition in 1 or 2 days.

Epiblepharon with inverted eyelashes in Japanese children. II. Surgical repairs.

We used lid bracing sutures, buried sutures, and skin resection operations to correct epiblepharon in Japanese children. Epiblepharon and ocular irritation in 103 children (254 eyelids) were treated first with lid bracing sutures. Postoperatively the inversion of eyelashes resolved in 73 patients (196 eyelids). Of these 103 patients 30 (58 eyelids) developed recurrences, which included 11 who also complained of foreign body sensation and ocular pain. These 11 patients (22 eyelids) underwent a second surgical procedure (buried sutures or skin resection) before they became free of symptoms. No severe complications were noted in any of the 103 patients. We believe that lid bracing sutures correct most cases of mild epiblepharon in children and that buried sutures or skin resection are valuable for more severe conditions.

Cutaneous and ocular reactions to practolol.

A total of 21 patients suffering from drug-induced rashes from practolol have been seen over the past two years. The clinical manifestations varied, with the morphological appearances of the rash resembling those of eczema, lupus erythematosus, lichen planus, and a highly characteristic toxic erythematous psoriasiform eruption. Persistent ocular damage was a feature in three cases.

Canalicular cystocele.

We report a rare case of acquired canalicular cystocele in a patient with obstructions at both the proximal and distal ends of the inferior canaliculus. Histopathologic examination revealed a dilated tubule lined with nonkeratinizing squamous epithelium that measured 19 mm long and 7 mm wide. No mucous secreting goblet cells were observed in any sections. The fibrotic, thickened wall was infiltrated with epithelioid, lymphoid, and occasional plasma cells.

Management of the eye after iatrogenic facial paralysis.

The aesthetic and functional morbidity associated with facial palsy is significant. Fortunately, corneal exposure and ulceration with the potential for the loss of visual acuity can be minimized by eyelid procedures such as gold weight implantation and horizontal eyelid shortening. Although primarily designed for restoration of eyelid function, these procedures also improve ocular cosmesis. However, uncertainty remains regarding the indications for eyelid surgery: When should surgery be performed, in whom, and which procedure(s)? On the basis of our series of 60 patients evaluated for facial paralysis, guidelines for the management of the paralyzed eyelids after iatrogenic injury to the facial nerve are proposed.

Head and neck complications of epidermolysis bullosa.

Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare congenital skin disease which is characterized by easy formation of traumatic skin bullae. The disease is usually detected in early infancy due to the recurrent bullae. Prognosis is dependent on the histological variant which is present. A case of autosomal recessive epidermolysis bullosa is presented, which demonstrates many of the head and neck complications of the disease. Traditional skin care modalities as well as multiple surgical procedures such as skin grafts and the use of amniotic membrane were used without success. Limited natural healing, which was possibly promoted by oral phenytoin, has occurred.

Peters' anomaly: dominant inheritance in one pedigree and dextrocardia in another.

Two case reports are described to illustrate the unusual occurrence of dominant inheritance of Peters' anomaly and the concomitant occurrence of Peters' anomaly with colobomatous microphthalmos and dextrocardia. Studies of additional families are necessary to determine conclusively the pathogenesis, genetic mode of inheritance, ocular and systemic associated malformations, and proper management of this complex entity.

Congenital eversion of upper eyelids: case report and management.

Congenital eversion of the upper eyelids is a rare condition, the exact cause of which remains unknown. It is more frequently associated with Down's syndrome and black babies. If diagnosed early and treated properly, the condition can be managed without surgery. We report a case of congenital bilateral severe upper eyelid eversion in a normal infant, born by vaginal delivery. The case was conservatively managed by lubricants, antibiotics and eyelid patching.
