Rarely is ectropion present at birth (congenital). When it is, it's usually associated with genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome. Risk factors Factors that increase your risk of developing ectropion include: Age. [mayoclinic.org]

• Weakness

  Causes Ectropion can be caused by: Muscle weakness. As you age, the muscles under your eyes tend to weaken, and tendons stretch out. These muscles and tendons hold your eyelid taut against your eye. When they weaken, your eyelid can begin to droop. [mayoclinic.org]

  In paralytic ectropion, orbicularis muscle tone is weak or absent due to facial nerve palsy. In cicatricial ectropion, the anterior or middle lamellae are shortened due to scarring. [eyewiki.aao.org]

  INTRODUCTION Entropion is a senile disorder in which the eyelid turns in toward the eyeball, which can cause irritation, tearing, hyperemia and even corneal ulcers and scarring.1 It is associated with horizontal eyelid laxity, which is caused by the weakening [surgicalcosmetic.org.br]

Abstract A study of 20 patients with bilateral ectropion was undertaken to determine the exact anatomical etiology of the horizontal eyelid laxity which leads to "senile" (involutional) ectropion. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The lower eyelids are most affected, usually with complete involvement of the eyelid margin.3 Surgery is the only effective and definitive treatment.2 Thorough knowledge of eyelid anatomy is essential to determine the etiology and carry out the surgical [surgicalcosmetic.org.br]

Ì== Etiology == There are four main types of ectropion: involutional, cicatricial, mechanical, and paralytic. Involutional ectropion is caused by increased horizontal laxity of the lower eyelid and disinsertion of the lower eyelid retractors. [eyewiki.aao.org]
