• Myopathy

  Oculopharyngodistal myopathy is an extremely rare disease characterised by slowly progressive blepharoptosis, facial and bulbar muscle weakness and distal leg myopathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Myogenic blepharoptosis includes myasthenia gravis and a number of rare myopathies. Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia term refers to a group of systemic disease caused by mutations in the DNA of mitochondria. [bendomd.com]

  The findings are most consistent with myogenic ptosis in a generalized mitochondrial myopathy syndrome. [academic.oup.com]

• Torticollis

  The authors propose that symptomatic ocular torticollis is an indication for ptosis repair. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Although ptosis is not considered a progressive condition, children with ptosis have a higher incidence of amblyopia (14-23%) and other developmental visual disorders such as myopia, astigmatism, anisometropia, torticollis, and strabismus.(10) Ptosis [scielo.br]

• Strabismus

  Selected patients with blepharoptosis and exotropia with aberrant regeneration of the oculomotor nerve can achieve acceptable cosmesis by simple strabismus surgery. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]

  Amblyopia, astigmatism, and strabismus were not improved after treatment. All of the patients had excellent aesthetic improvement and corrected blepharoptosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Patients presenting with acute ptosis should be questioned about a recent history of flu-like syndrome, and if workup is negative with this history, the clinicians should suspect this rare condition. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup Laboratory Studies If myasthenia gravis is suspected in a patient with ptosis, perform a serum assay for acetylcholine receptor antibodies and antistriated muscle antibody. [emedicine.medscape.com]

All of the patients underwent surgical treatment and bleomycin injection from January 2010 to January 2014. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] diagnostic criteria of VATER association, have been considered significant for clarifying the nature of VATER association and for establishing guidelines for the treatment of infants with VATER association because they are supposed to be determinants of prognosis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diagnosis and Prognosis: An ophthalmologist would be the most likely to diagnose this disorder. The nearsightedness can be corrected with lenses and the dislocated lenses can be removed surgically. Lifespan is apparently normal. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Prognosis The repair of congenital ptosis can produce excellent functional and cosmetic results. With careful observation and treatment, amblyopia can be treated successfully. [emedicine.com]

Etiologies included trauma in 21 (46.7%), congenital in 16 (35.6%), and other causes in 8 (17.7%) cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In conclusion, the levator resection is a commonly used procedure that addresses the pathophysiology of most types of ptosis except for the myogenic type. [openophthalmologyjournal.com]

Identification of the underlying pathophysiologic mechanism is paramount to institute proper treatment. Pathophysiology Ptosis is the result of dysfunctioning of one or both upper eyelid elevator muscles. [emedicine.com]

How can I prevent ptosis? You can’t really prevent ptosis but you might be able to stop droopy eyelids getting any worse if you get them treated early. One way to do this is to ensure you have an eye test every two years. [specsavers.ie]
