Presentation
Typically, four major facial features are present at birth: narrow eyes, droopy eyelids, an upward fold of skin of the inner lower eyelids and widely set eyes. [rarediseases.org]
Presentation[edit] In addition to small palpebral fissures, features can include epicanthus inversus (fold curving in the mediolateral direction, inferior to the inner canthus), low nasal bridge, ptosis of the eyelids and telecanthus. [en.wikipedia.org]
Epicanthus inversus is present and may be mild to severe. A manifest strabismus is seen in 20% of children, mostly esotropia, and 35% have refractive errors enough to warrant corrective lenses. [mussenhealth.us]

In ptosis, the upper eyelid falls to a position that is lower than normal. In severe cases of ptosis, the drooping eyelid can cover part or the entire pupil and interfere with vision. [1],[2] Ptosis can affect one eye or both eyes. [pediatricneurosciences.com]

The nasal bridge is flat and there is a hypoplastic orbital rim.[1] It may also be associated with lop ears, ectropion and hypertelorism. There are two known types, type 1 and type 2. [en.wikipedia.org]
We herein report a 12-year-old girl with BPES who had bilateral blepharophimosis, ptosis, hypertelorism, and downslanting palpebral fissures. Mutation analysis revealed the insertion of a cytosine (dup 1036C) within a wild-type run of six cytosines. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
Standard Therapies Treatment Treatment for BPES needs to address both the eyelid malformation and the premature ovarian insufficienty in type I patients. [rarediseases.org]
TREATMENT Treatment is indicated when visual function is threatened or for improved cosmesis. When the ptosis is severe enough to cause amblyopia, repair must be undertaken at an early age. [mussenhealth.us]

Pathophysiology
Etiology Inherited as autosomal dominant with up-to 50% happened sporadically Pathophysiology BPES types I and II were each mapped on the long arm of chromosome 3, due to mutations within, or influencing FOXL2 gene, Its protein product expressed in lids [eyewiki.aao.org]
Thus, decreased apoptotic and antiproliferative activities caused by mutant forms of FOXL2 found in BPES patients may at least partially contribute to the pathophysiology of ovarian dysfunction. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

Now, many surgeons suggest correction of ptosis first, even at a very early age, to prevent amblyopia. Soft-tissue medial canthal and lateral canthal surgery can wait until the face is grown. [fr.slideshare.net]
Thus, we suggest correction of ptosis first, even at a very early age for the prevention of amblyopia, followed by correction of telecanthus and small HPFL at an older age. [nature.com]
