RESUMO
Objective: Epidemiological data on ptosis are generally lacking in the developing nations. The aim of this study was to assess the seven years pattern of ptosis in a Nigerian Specialist Hospital; Kano North-West Nigeria. Method: The records of patients' diagnosis as ptosis between 2000 and 2006 were scrutinized. Data such as age; sex; cause; socioeconomic status; side of ptosis and management were obtained. Result: A total number of 104 patients were recorded. High prevalence was found as follows: male 102(65.4); right side (61.5); trauma (RTA) (60.9); civil servants (38.5.8) and age group: 51-60 years (25.6). Conclusion: It was concluded that trauma from road traffic accident (RTA) is the major aetiological factor and the right side mostly affected. Recommendation: It is recommended that surgical training and facilities for ptosis correction is off priority

Il s'agit d'une etude retrospective des paralysies cubitales basses post traumatiques traitees dans le service de Chirurgie plastique et Chirurgie de la main du CHU lbn Sina-Rabat; portant sur 30 patients colliges de juin 1997 a decembre 2000.La population cible est constituee d'adultes jeunes travailleurs manuels avec une predominance masculine.La mesure comparative de la force de serrage digito palmaire: F1 et pollici digitale: F2 pre et post operatoire met en evidence:-Une correction des deformations quelle que soit la methode utilisee.-Une alteration de F1 par la reanimation des 4eme et 5eme doigts sacrifiant des flechisseurs communs superficiels; F1 etant conserve par la simple stabilisation des articulations metacarpophalangiennes par la capsuloplastie transosseuse.-Une amelioration de F2 par l'association de la stabilisation de l'articulation metacarpophalangienne a la reanimation de la musculature intrinseque de la pince par des transferts tendineux dependants de l'innervation radiale.Le motif de consultation etant domine par la diminution de la force de serrage; il serait judicieux que le traitement de la main; cubitale associe la stabilisation simple des 4e et 5e doigts a la stabilisation-reanimation du pouce par les transferts tendineux dependants de l'innervation radiale.La decouverte de methodes therapeutiques augmentant la force de serrage digito palmaire permettra d'optimiser ces resultats
