The patient presented good functional and aesthetic results, with no complications. Keywords: BLEPHAROPLASTY; ENTROPION; RECONSTRUCTION. [surgicalcosmetic.org.br]

The condition is of gradual onset and often there is no history of previous inflammation, so whatever, irritation is present seems to be the result of the entropion and not the cause. [ijo.in]

When entropion is present at birth (congenital), it may be caused by an extra fold of skin on the eyelid that causes turned-in eyelashes. Risk factors Factors that increase your risk of developing entropion include: Age. [mayoclinic.org]

If present, these can also cause secondary spastic entropion. Assess corneal status specifically for corneal abrasions, scarring, thinning, or neovascularization. [aao.org]

• Collapse

  Be sure to close tarsal plate with additional partial thickness horizontal 6‑0 vicryl sutures to reapproximate the full height of the tarsal plate to avoid collapse of the lid margin. [aao.org]

• Foreign Body Sensation

  History Chronic foreign body sensation or irritation Pain Red eye Epiphora due to irritation or lash touch Discharge Decreased or blurry vision Clinical features Lower eyelid margin rotated inward against cornea (Figure 1) and conjunctiva causing corneal [aao.org]

• Distractibility

  Eyelid taping: Secure a 3‑cm tape strip about 0.5 cm below the central lower eyelid and gently distract in a lateral and slightly elevated position to evert the margin to normal position (Stevens, Comm Eye Health 2012). [aao.org]

Preventing and managing treatment complications Recurrence can happen, although less commonly than with Quickert sutures. [aao.org]

A small tender swelling developed at the site of the incision (a stitch abscess), but it subsided readily with medical treatment. [ijo.in]

Evaluate patient for ocular surface disease (i.e., surface keratopathy, corneal infiltrates) and etiology of entropion. Cicatrizing etiologies can demonstrate shortened fornices, symblepharon, and scarred posterior tarsal conjunctiva. [aao.org]

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]

Epidemiology Occurs in up to 2.1% of the elderly population (1.9% men and 2.4% women), with significant tissue laxity (Damasceno, Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg 2011). [aao.org]

Close orbicularis muscle and skin edges in layered fashion (scar prevents overriding orbicularis). Preventing and managing treatment complications Recurrence can happen, although less commonly than with Quickert sutures. [aao.org]

Prevention Generally, entropion isn't preventable. You may be able to prevent the type caused by trachoma infection. [mayoclinic.org]
