Comparatively, in the nonsurgical group, amblyopia was present on initial examination in 8.7% (2/23), and was present in 17% (4/23) of these patients at follow-up (mean, 17.2 months). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

If it’s between the ages of 1 and 20 years of age, so if it comes in, and they say this just started in the last several months, and they’re in this age range, those patients need a complete workup. [cybersight.org]

A patient with a strong family history of congenital ptosis may not need an extensive workup. [eyewiki.aao.org]

A precociuos treatment is able to reduce the incidence of amblyopia from 34% to 8%. The choice of the treatment (resection Vs suspension) has to consider the age of the patient, the severity of ptosis and avaibility of fascia lata. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Levator aponeurosis disinsertion is an accepted etiologic factor in some acquired ptosis cases, but it has not previously been reported as a cause of congenital ptosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

The etiology of this dysfunction is not clear, and there has been debate as to whether this represents a primary muscular or primary neurologic problem. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]

Pathophysiology The eyelids are elevated by the contraction of the levator palpebrae superioris. In most cases of congenital ptosis, a droopy eyelid results from a localized myogenic dysgenesis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Early ophthalmic evaluation and timely treatment of these conditions may help prevent the irreversible visual impairment in case of congenital ptosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
