Cutaneous anthrax leading to corneal scarring from cicatricial ectropion.

Eleven patients with cutaneous anthrax of the eyelids are presented. The complications were cicatricial ectropion (eight patients), resulting in corneal scarring (three patients). The ectropion was corrected by full thickness postauricular skin grafts, with good results. The predilection of this infection for the eyelids of young children and a seasonal variation suggest that a vector may be involved in transmission.

Correction of ectropion of the lower lid by upper eyelid skin transposition.

A technique for the correction of ectropion of the lower lid by transposition of a full-thickness skin flap from the ipsilateral upper eyelid to the lower lid has been used in seven patients. The technique allows great flexibility in the extent of the approximation of the lower lid to the eye globe. The pedicle is based medially to obtain close contact between the lower punctum and the eye globe. There were no complications. We believe that the eyelid skin flap transposition technique is a useful operation for the correction of moderate to severe senile and paralytic ectropion.

Late presentation of congenital ectropion of the eyelids in a child with Down syndrome: a case report and review of the literature.

Congenital eversion or ectropion of the upper eyelids is rare. Only 50 cases have been reported since the condition was first described in 1896. We encountered an additional case of congenital ectropion of the eyelids, which is also unusual because of its late presentation for treatment. This case demonstrates the unfavorable outcome of failure to treat this condition at birth and illustrates the association with Down syndrome. Our case is compared with the others reported in the literature.

Chlamydia-induced bilateral ectropion of the inferior eyelids in pigeons.

In this study we described four cases of bilateral ectropion in pigeons that were investigated in Greece. Anemia, leukocytosis, and increased levels of enzymes lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine phosphokinase, and total serum proteins were found. Chlamydial elementary bodies were observed by modified Ziehl-Neelsen stain in direct smears of conjunctiva, liver, and spleen as well as in yolk sac samples after egg inoculation with eyelid material. Histologically, significant hyperplasia of the conjunctival epithelium was observed. Using immunohistochemical methods, chlamydial antigen was revealed in eyelid, liver, and spleen paraffin sections. This study suggests that Chlamydia spp. was the causative agent that induced ectropion.

Late-onset unilateral primary developmental glaucoma associated with iridotrabecular dysgenesis, congenital ectropion uveae and thickened corneal nerves: a new neural crest syndrome?

The association of unilateral primary developmental glaucoma with iridotrabecular dysgenesis and congenital ectropion uveae has been well documented in the literature. The glaucoma in this entity may present at birth, infancy or may develop at a later stage in life. I report the case of a child with late-onset unilateral primary developmental glaucoma due to iridotrabecular dysgenesis, congenital ectropion uveae, and who had a previously undescribed association with ipsilateral thickened corneal nerves in the stroma.

Repair of cicatricial ectropion by horizontal shortening and pedicle flap.

Senile ectropion can usually be repaired by a horizontal shortening procedure. However, in those cases where there is a cicatricial component, additional skin is needed to insure a satisfactory result. This report describes a method of correcting this type of ectropion by utilizing a combination of horizontal shortening and single pedicle flap from the upper eyelid.

[Prevention and treatment of eyelid retraction and ectropion following lower eyelid blepharoplasty with tarsal tuck procedure].

OBJECTIVE: To prevent or decrease eyelid retraction and ectropion following lower eyelid blepharoplasty. METHODS: The tarsal tuck procedure was performed during lower eyelid blepharoplasty to tighten the lower eyelid. This method had been used since 1991. RESULTS: After the operation, the lower eyelid was tensional and steady. The complications of eyelid retraction and ectropion were diminished. CONCLUSION: The pathologic basis of the eyelid bag is that the supporting tissues become lax so that the lower eyelid and lateral canthus move downwards. The exact aim of the tarsal tuck procedure is to correct these pathologic changes.

[Axial aponeurotic flap combined with skin graft in the treatment of lower lid ectropion and severe infra-orbital soft tissue depression].

OBJECTIVE: The correction of ectropion of lower lid and severe infra-orbital soft tissue depression is very difficult. Former methods included simple skin graft, tubed graft, transfer of local skin flap and so on. These methods had some disadvantages, such as not enough tissue to fill the depression, too much damage done to the donor area and operation in stages required. METHODS: After investigation on the anatomy of temporal region, designed the following method. Combined transfer of the galea aponeurotica and temporal fascia was used to repair severe infra-orbital soft tissue depression and ectropion of lower lid in 6 cases. RESULTS: It was discovered that the combined transfer of the galea aponeurotica and temporal fascia was rich in blood circulation because they received blood supply from parietal branch of superficial temporal artery and could be transferred to a distance as far as 15-18 cm. The skin graft used to cover the fascia usually resulted in good survival. This technique was used in 6 cases with good success. CONCLUSION: This method had some merits such as the tissue flap had good blood supply, little damage done to the donor area, good correction of the severe depression, good appearance following correction, operation done under local anesthesia and completed in one-stage operation.

[Congenital ectropion of the upper eyelids due to an anomaly of the eyelids in down's syndrome (author's transl)].

A 5-months-old female baby with Down's Syndrome developed an intermittent spastic ectropion of the upper eyelids. The reasons for this are thought to be the flaccidity of the connective tissue, which is typical in Down's Syndrome, and a little anomaly of the eyelids, the tarsus was too short horizontally and very weak and the upper eyelids were somewhat larger than normal and elongated. Suturing Bangerter's lid-sheets on the upper eyelids for 15 days resulted in a scarring of the tarsus with the lax connective tissue of the upper eyelids. The ectropion disappeared and did not recur.

[Grzybowski type eruptive keratoacanthomas and ectropion. A therapeutic problem].

Eruptive Grzybowski-type keratoacanthoma is a rare variant of multiple keratoacanthoma and is not accompanied by internal malignancies. Up to now only 16 cases of eruptive Grzybowski-type keratoacanthoma have been described in the literature. Eruptive and solitary keratoacanthomas cannot be distinguished histologically. The multiplicity of skin lesions may be due to a genetic background. Our patient presented with multiple eruptive keratoacanthomas, ectropion and a mask-like face. Conservative treatment, e.g. with etretinate, did not lead to any improvement of symptoms in this case. Therefore surgical therapy was recommended for the patient's ectropion.

Carbon dioxide laser repair of medial ectropion.

Five patients with medial eyelid ectropion and punctal eversion due to senile changes, cicatrix, or vertical skin tightness were treated with a heretofore unreported method. Using a carbon dioxide laser, an ellipse of conjunctival-tarsal-inferior muscle tissue was excised from the inner surface of the ectropic lid inferior to the punctum. There was no bleeding, and each postoperative course was notable for minimal pain and edema. Lengthy follow-up revealed good anatomic results, with normal functioning of the inferior punctum. Patients taking warfarin sodium (Coumadin) have been treated without bleeding. Carbon dioxide laser ectropion repair may be tailored to each patient's specific condition, and is performed with ease in the office, thus offering diminished patient anxiety, discomfort, and expense.

Double wedge resection for severe involutional ectropion.

Although the individual elements of our technique are well known to ophthalmic plastic surgeons and ophthalmologists, their combination into one procedure for use in severe cases of involutional (senile) ectropion has not been described. Some authors have advocated performing a two-stage procedure for a severe medial ectropion. We have met considerable success in our one-stage procedure and advocate its adoption.

Mechanical ectropion repair using tarsal rotation sutures.

Chronic mechanical ectropion may persist despite elimination of its causal factors. Four such cases are presented in which traditional surgical management was not appropriate. Instead, tarsal rotation sutures were applied, eliminating the ectropion and deepening the inferior fornix in each case. This technique is presented in detail, along with a discussion of its mechanical principle which establishes the infraorbital rim as the center of rotation of the eyelid, anchoring the sutures and placing an inward torque on the tarsal plate.

Cicatricial ectropion following blepharoplasty: treatment by tissue expansion.

We describe the first use of the tissue expansion principle in oculoplastic surgery. In a patient with cicatricial ectropion a specially designed tissue expander and reservoir were implanted into a subcutaneous pocket, then the reservoir was filled percutaneously with normal saline until the overlying skin was firm. Saline was injected into the reservoir weekly thereafter. Three weeks following placement the unit was removed; the cicatricial ectropion no longer existed. A week later the patient's ocular symptoms had resolved. The potential for tissue expansion in oculoplastic surgery is exciting.

[Mucous graft in acute spastic ectropion (author's transl)].

Acute spactic ectropion often occurs with concomitant inflammatory and degenerative conditions of the conjunctiva. This is the cause of failures in the classic ectropion's surgery. Authors suggest to replace the altered conjunctiva with transplant of oral mucous membrane.

Cicatricial ectropion due to essential skin shrinkage: treatment with rotational upper-lid pedicle flaps.

Ectropion is sometimes due to a shortage of skin of the lower lid (cicatricial) and may result from previous surgery, trauma, burns, skin diseases etc. Excessive exposure to the sun has also been incriminated. Vertical traction lines in the skin of the lower lid, accentuated by gazing up or by opening the mouth, suggest this condition. This paper describes the use of pedicle skin flaps rotated from the upper lid to treat cicatricial ectropion occurring in the absence of any predisposing factor and not responding to conservative treatment--that is, due to essential skin shrinkage. All 10 patients had an improved appearance, and epiphora persisted in only 1 patient, who subsequently underwent a punctum-enlarging procedure. In an 11th patient there was insufficient redundant upper-lid skin, so a free skin graft was used instead.
