ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN. La ptosis palpebral se define como el descenso o disfunción del párpado con respecto a su posición considerada como normal, pudiendo causar alteraciones del campo visual. Puede dividirse en lesiones congénitas o adquiridas, por el grado de disfunción entre otros. Blefaroplastia, es el término para la corrección de la misma. Existen varias técnicas correctivas quirúrgicas y no quirúrgicas. CASOS. Se presenta una serie de 5 casos tratados mediante abordaje quirúrgico anterior; detallando la técnica quirúrgica utilizada, con corrección de las estructuras hipertrofiadas, sección, suspensión, sutura del elevador palpebral o su encortamiento; suspensión de índole estática con el uso de fascia del paciente y finalizando el procedimiento con la confección del surco palpebral superior. RESULTADOS. Los 5 pacientes fueron tratados con técnicas quirúrgicas individualizadas obteniéndose buenos resultados estéticos y funcionales, sin complicaciones durante o después del procedimiento. DISCUSIÓN. La técnica de blefaroplastia quirúrgica dependerá del grado de disfunción; se describen tres principales: Fasanella Servat, para ptosis leve y útil para ptosis congénita leve o síndrome de Horner; Reinserción de la aponeurosis del músculo elevador, técnica que respeta la anatomía y permite regular diferentes grados de ptosis; y Suspensión del párpado al músculo frontal pudiendo ser definitiva o reversible. La edad de intervención para ptosis congénita antes del año de edad es urgente, si tapa la pupila para así evitar ambliopía y tortícolis compensatoria, en el resto de casos se sugiere realizarla a partir de los 5 años de edad. CONCLUSIONES. El conocimiento adecuado de la anatomía palpebral, etiología de la dermatocalasia y blefaroptosis, permite realizar una correcta cirugía reparadora individualizada para cada paciente. Las técnicas presentadas en este trabajo son reproducibles.


INTRODUCTION. Palpebral ptosis is defined as the descent or dysfunction of the eyelid with respect to its position considered as normal, which can cause alterations in the visual field. It can be divided into congenital or acquired lesions, according to the degree of dysfunction, among others. Blepharoplasty is the term for its correction. There are several surgical and non-surgical corrective techniques. CASES. We present a series of 5 cases treated by anterior surgical approach; detailing the surgical technique used, with correction of the hypertrophied structures, section, suspension, suture of the palpebral elevator or its shortening; static suspension with the use of the patient's fascia and ending the procedure with the confection of the superior palpebral sulcus. RESULTS. All 5 patients were treated with individualized surgical techniques obtaining good aesthetic and functional results, without complications during or after the procedure. DISCUSSION. The surgical blepharoplasty technique will depend on the degree of dysfunction; three main techniques are described: Fasanella Servat, for mild ptosis and useful for mild congenital ptosis or Horner syndrome; Reinsertion of the levator muscle aponeurosis, a technique that respects the anatomy and allows regulating different degrees of ptosis; and Eyelid suspension to the frontalis muscle, which can be definitive or reversible. The age of intervention for congenital ptosis before one year of age is urgent, if it covers the pupil in order to avoid amblyopia and compensatory torticollis, in the rest of cases it is suggested to perform it from 5 years of age. CONCLUSIONS. The adequate knowledge of the palpebral anatomy, etiology of dermatochalasis and blepharoptosis, allows a correct individualized reparative surgery for each patient. The techniques presented in this work are reproducible.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN. La parálisis facial refractaria produce ectropión paralítico secundario, que predispone a la queratopatía por exposición y otras complicaciones oculares, que deben ser manejadas con cirugía. OBJETIVO. Describir el manejo quirúrgico oftalmoló-gico en parálisis facial refractaria mediante tira tarsal y suspensión del pliegue nasolabial. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS. Estudio observacional, retrospectivo. Población y muestra conocida de 8 Historias Clínicas, en el Hospital de Especialidades Carlos Andrade Marín, período enero 2016 a diciembre 2018. Criterios de inclusión: registros de parálisis facial y ectropión paralítico. Los datos fueron tomados del sistema AS400, y se analizaron en el programa estadístico International Business Machines Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, Versión 25.0. RESULTADOS. La etiología tumoral fue 62,5% (5; 8), A los 6 me-ses postquirúrgicos se observó resolución de: lagoftalmos, lagrimeo, ardor ocular y quera-titis en el 87,5% (7; 8); el ectropión se resolvió en todos los casos y se obtuvo una mejoría en la ptosis. La agudeza visual mejoró en el 75,0% (6; 8). DISCUSIÓN: La literatura evi-denció que las técnicas quirúrgicas si bien no abordan el aspecto oftalmológico y estético a la vez, aún es incierto su manejo de manera conjunta dado que ha sido poco descrita pero ha adquirido importancia por los resultados en la Unidad de Oftalmología del hospital.CONCLUSIÓN. La descripción del manejo quirúrgico oftalmológico en parálisis facial re-fractaria mediante la técnica de tira tarsal y suspensión del pliegue nasolabial fue asertiva como experiencia local.


INTRODUCTION. Refractory facial paralysis produces secondary paralytic ectropion, which predisposes to exposure keratopathy and other ocular complications, which must be managed with surgery. OBJECTIVE. Describe the ophthalmic surgical management of refractory facial paralysis using tarsal strip and suspension of the nasolabial fold. MATE-RIALS AND METHODS. Observational, retrospective study. Population and known sam-ple of 8 Clinical Histories, at the Carlos Andrade Marín Specialty Hospital, period from january 2016 to december 2018. Inclusion criteria: records of facial paralysis and paralytic ectropion. The data were taken from the AS400 system, and analyzed in the statistical pro-gram International Business Machines Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, Version 25.0. RESULTS. The tumor aetiology was 62,5% (5; 8). At 6 months after surgery, resolu-tion of: lagophthalmos, lacrimation, ocular burning and keratitis was observed in 87,5% (7; 8); ectropion resolved in all cases and ptosis improved. Visual acuity improved in 75,0% (6; 8). DISCUSSION: The literature showed that the surgical techniques, although they do not address the ophthalmological and aesthetic aspects at the same time, their joint mana-gement is still uncertain since it has been little described but has acquired importance due to the results in the Ophthalmology Unit of the hospital. CONCLUSION. The description of ophthalmic surgical management in refractory facial paralysis using the tarsal strip techni-que and suspension of the nasolabial fold was assertive as a local experience.

Se observó además, trastornos posturales por elevación del mentón para mirar. Valorado por Neurología, se descartó causa neurológica de la ptosis. Estudiado por Oculoplastia, se decide tratamiento quirúrgico, consistente en acortamiento del músculo elevador de ambos parpados, por vía anterior y excursión de dicho músculo, en 6 mm. El resultado postquirúrgico fue satisfactorio.


ABSTRACT We present the case of a male patient, 4 years old, product of dystocic delivery (by caesarean section), term gestation, (41.0 weeks), with a birth weight of 7.10 pounds (normal weight) urban origin, with a history of having undergone surgical treatment for a tear duct obstruction, at the age of one year. At the ophthalmological examination, it is noted that both upper eyelids fall at the level of the middle third of the pupil area; low insertion of the upper outer canthal edge of both upper eyelids, abundant tearing and ocular secretions; Small myopia and slight bilateral amblyopia. It was also observed postural disorders due to elevation of the chin to look. Valued by Neurology, neurological cause of ptosis was ruled out. Studied by Oculoplasty, surgical treatment is decided, consisting of shortening of the elevating muscle of both eyelids, by anterior route and excursion of said muscle, in 6 mm. The post-surgical result was satisfactory.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Los linfomas son enfermedades malignas que se originan en las células del sistema inmune y se manifiestan predominantemente por linfoadenopatías; en ocasiones la presentación es en sitios extranodales. El ojo y sus anexos pueden ser afectados por un grupo heterogéneo de linfomas primarios o, secundariamente, por la extensión de linfomas originados en ganglios linfáticos o en otros sitios extranodales. Se reporta el caso de un paciente que acudió a consulta por ptosis palpebral izquierda y al examen físico se detectó afectación bilateral, con presencia de tumores en la conjuntiva bulbar inferior en ojo derecho y en la conjuntiva bulbar superior en ojo izquierdo. Mediante biopsia de conjuntiva se diagnosticó linfoma no Hodgkin linfocítico de células pequeñas B. El paciente fue considerado un estadio IIIAE de Ann Arbor y tratado con seis ciclos de ciclofosfamida, vincristina, doxorrubicina y prednisona, más el anticuerpo monoclonal cubano anti-CD20 CIMABior®. Se alcanzó la respuesta completa, estado en el cual se mantiene hasta el momento.


ABSTRACT Lymphomas are malignant diseases that originate in the immune system cells and are predominantly manifested by lymphadenopathy; sometimes the presentation is in extranodal places. The eye and its annexes may be affected by a heterogeneous group of primary lymphomas or, secondarily, by the extension of lymphomas originated in lymph nodes or other extranodal sites. The case of a patient who went to the consultation due to left palpebral ptosis is reported and physical examination showed bilateral involvement, with tumors in the lower right eye bulbar conjunctiva and in the left eye upper bulbar conjunctiva. A small B cell lymphocytic non-Hodgkin lymphoma was diagnosed by conjunctiva biopsy. The patient was considered a stage IIIAE of Ann Arbor and treated with six cycles of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin and prednisone, plus the Cuban monoclonal antibody anti-CD20 CIMABior®. The complete response was reached, state in which the disease remains so far.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to investigate the course of the supraorbital nerve and temporal branch of the facial nerve, and to verify the clinical security of cutting the frontalis muscle flap to treat blepharoptosis in one-third of the eyebrow. Twenty cadavers were dissected. The relationship of the supraorbital nerve and the course of the frontotemporal branch of the facial nerve with the head and neck muscles was evaluated. Forty patients underwent clinical frontal muscular flap suspension surgery for the treatment of blepharoptosis. The postoperative curative and complication rates were determined. The courses of the supraorbital nerve and frontotemporal branch of the facial nerve were observed to determine a relatively safe area in one-third of the eyebrow. The average width of the zone was 25.0±3.5 mm. In forty cases, satisfactory results were achieved in correcting blepharoptosis by cutting the frontal muscular flap in the middle of eyebrow within the wide range of 17±2.1 mm. No secondary sensory and motor dysfunctions occurred. One-third of the eyebrow (eyebrow center, within 17±2.1 mm) was a relatively safe area and allowed for the prevention of damage to the temporal branch of the facial nerve inside the supraorbital nerve and supraorbital artery and the outer frontotemporal branch of the facial nerve.


El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar el curso del nervio supraorbital y la rama temporal del nervio facial, para verificar la seguridad clínica de cortar el vientre frontal del músculo occipitofrontal (colgajo de músculo frontal) para tratar la blefaroptosis en un tercio de la ceja. Veinte cadáveres fueron disecados. Se evaluó la relación del nervio supraorbital y el curso de la rama temporal del nervio facial con los músculos de la cabeza y cuello. Cuarenta pacientes fueron sometidos a la cirugía de confección del colgajo del músculo frontal para el tratamiento de la ptosis palpebral. Se determinaron las tasas de curación y de complicaciones postoperatorias. Se observaron los cursos del nervio supraorbital y la rama temporal del nervio facial para determinar un área relativamente segura en un tercio de la ceja. El ancho medio de la zona fue 25,0±3,5 mm. En cuarenta casos, se lograron resultados satisfactorios en la corrección de la blefaroptosis con el colgajo del músculo frontal en la mitad de la ceja en un rango de 17±2,1 mm. No se produjeron disfunciones sensoriales o motoras secundarias. El tercio de la ceja (centro del entrecejo, dentro de 17±2,1 mm) es una zona relativamente segura y permite la prevención de daños al ramo temporal del nervio facial ubicada medial al nervio supraorbitario y a la arteria supraorbitaria, además del ramo temporal lateral del nervio facial.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: caracterizar la evolución clínica y quirúrgica de la ptosis palpebral. Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional analítico de 95 párpados afectados en 67 pacientes. Se consideraron las variables, sexo, edad, ojo afectado, etiología, grado de la ptosis, apertura palpebral pre- y postoperatoria, cirugía realizada y complicaciones. Resultados: hubo 40 pacientes masculinos y 27 femeninos. La edad promedio fue de 60 ± 22 años. En 39 pacientes se presentó el tipo unilateral (58,2 %) y el 32,8 % tenía afectado el ojo izquierdo; el 71,6 % presentaron ptosis aponeurótica. El grado moderado afectó al 56,7 %. Se practicó reforzamiento de la aponeurosis a 48 pacientes, con apertura palpebral preoperatoria promedio de 6,25 ± 0,6 cm y postoperatoria de 10,9 ± 0,6 cm; resección supramáxima en 10 pacientes, con apertura palpebral preoperatoria media de 5,3 ± 0,7 cm y postoperatoria de 9,7 ± 2,1 cm; suspensión frontal a 9 pacientes, con apertura palpebral preoperatoria de 4,6 ± 0,7 cm y una media de 9,4 ± 1,4 cm postoperatoria; en cada técnica hubo una diferencia de la apertura palpebral pre- y postoperatoria estadísticamente significativa. El 89,6 % de los pacientes no tuvieron complicaciones. Conclusiones: la ptosis palpebral predominó en pacientes masculinos de la tercera edad, y fue más frecuente en el ojo izquierdo. La causa aponeurótica representó el porciento mayor. El reforzamiento de la aponeurosis fue la técnica más realizada; el valor medio de la hendidura palpebral resultó significativamente mayor luego de aplicadas las tres técnicas quirúrgicas. El resultado estético funcional fue valorado de muy bueno.


Objective: to characterize clinico -surgical behavior of blepharoptosis. Methods: an analytical observational study of 95 affected eyelids was carried out in 67 patients. Gender, age, affected eye, etiology, ptosis grade, pre and postoperative palpebral aperture, surgery performed and complications were regarded. Results: there were 40 male patients and 27 female. The mean age was 60 ± 22 years. In 39 patients it was presented unilateral type (58,2 %), 32,8 % had affectation in the left eye; 71,6 % presented aponeurotic ptosis. The moderate degree affected the 56,7 %. Aponeurotic repair was practiced in 48 patients, with mean preoperative palpebral aperture of 6,25 ± 0,6 mm and postoperative of 10,9 ± 0,6 mm; levator resection in 10 patients, with mean preoperative palpebral aperture of 5,3 ± 0,7 mm and postoperative of 9,7 ± 2,1 mm; frontalis suspension in 9 patients, with mean preoperative palpebral aperture of 4,6 ± 0,7 mm and postoperative of 9,4 ± 1,4 mm; there was a statistically significant difference of the pre and postoperative palpebral aperture in each technique. There were no complications in the 89,6 %. Conclusion: blepharoptosis prevailed in male of the third age, being more frequent in left eye. Aponeurotic etiology represented the highest percent. Aponeurosis repair was the main technique performed; average palpebral aperture value was significantly higher after applying the three surgical techniques. Functional and esthetic result was evaluated as good.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: evaluar los resultados quirúrgicos de la técnica de Crawford mediante el empleo de silastic y polipropileno 4.0 y las complicaciones presentadas. MÉTODOS: se realizó un estudio descriptivo y prospectivo de 12 pacientes (16 párpados) con ptosis palpebral congénita desde enero 2009 a diciembre 2010 en la consulta de Oculoplastia del Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología "Ramón Pando Ferrer". Fueron excluidos los que tenían cirugía anterior de dicha enfermedad. RESULTADOS: el 83,3 % fueron del sexo masculino y el 91,6 % menores de 9 años de edad; de ellos, 4 casos de 0 a 2 y de 6 a 8, respectivamente; 3 casos en el grupo de 3 a 5 y solo 1 caso mayor de 9 años. El 75 % fueron ptosis congénita simple y el 56 % severas. La ptosis resultó corregida en 13 párpados para el 81 %. Con el uso desutura polipropileno 4.0, dos párpados se encontraron hipocorregidos (12,6 %) y seis corregidos (37,5 %); con silastic, un párpado quedó hipocorregido, (6,3 %) y siete corregidos (43,7 %). Se presentó el 25 % de complicaciones, 3 párpados hipocorregidos y un granuloma supraciliar. CONCLUSIONES: la ptosis resultó más frecuente en menores de 8 años del sexo masculino. Predominó la ptosis congénita simple, unilateral y severa. La técnica de Crawford resultó efectiva en la mayoría de los casos y similar con los dos materiales empleados.


OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the surgical outcomes of the Crawford technique through the use of silastic and polypropylene 4.0 materials and the identified complications. METHODS: a prospective and descriptive study of 12 patients (16 eyelids) with congenital ptosis conducted from January 2009 to December 2010 in the oculoplasty surgery in "Ramón Pando Ferrer" Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology. Those patients with prior surgery to treat this disease were excluded. RESULTS: in the study group, 83,3 % were males and 91,6 % were younger than 9 years old, 4 cases aged 0-2 and 6 8 years, respectively, 3 cases aged 3 to 5 and only one case older than 9 years. Seventy five percent of treated cases had simple congenital ptosis and 56 % suffered the severe form. Ptosis was corrected in 13 eyelids for 81 %. Using polypropylene sutures 4.0, two eyelids were undercorrected (12,6 % ) and 6 corrected (37,5 %) whereas the use of silastic resulted in one undercorrected eyelid (6,3 %) and 7 corrected ( 43,7 %). There was a 25 % complication rate, three undercorrected eyelids and one superciliary granuloma. CONCLUSIONS: ptosis was more frequent in male children younger than 8 years. Simple congenital ptosis predominated, either unilateral or severe. Crawford technique was effective in most cases and with similar results using both materials.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a diferença da função do músculo levantador da pálpebra superior (FMLPS), distância margem reflexo (DMR1) e altura do sulco palpebral (AS) antes e depois da cirurgia de blefaroplastia superior associada à correção de ptose palpebral. MÉTODOS: Quarenta e quatro pacientes com blefaroptose e dermatocálase foram incluídos. Intervenção: exploração do tendão do músculo levantador da pálpebra superior (MLPS) durante a blefaroplastia, em portadores de blefaroptose e dermatocálase. Nos casos de desinserção, o tendão foi refixado ao tarso. Desfechos analisados: foram analisados de forma bilateral a diferença entre FMLPS, DMR1 e AS antes e depois da intervenção. A dependência entre os olhos foi corrigida por meio de equações de estimativa generalizada. Foi utilizada a correlação de Pearson para quantificar a dependência entre os olhos para FMLPS, DMR1 e AS. RESULTADOS: Houve diferença significante entre as medidas de FMLPS antes e depois da cirurgia, havendo redução da excursão do MLPS após a cirurgia, diminuindo, em média, 1,1 mm (P<0,001). As medidas pré e pós-operatória de DMR1 e AS foram estatisticamente diferentes, sendo que a DMR1 aumentou, em média, 1,6 mm e a AS diminuiu, em média, 3,97 mm (P<0,001) após a cirurgia. Houve correlação significante entre os olhos para todas as variáveis propedêuticas antes e depois da cirurgia. As correlações pré-operatórias foram mais fortes no grupo sem cirurgia prévia. O mesmo foi encontrado para a correlação quanto ao grau de desinserção nos dois olhos (P>0,01). CONCLUSÃO: A função do músculo levantador da pálpebra superior diminui após a cirurgia para a correção da ptose.


PURPOSE: To evaluate the differences between upper eyelid levator muscle function (UELMF), margin reflex distance (MDR1), and eyelid crease height (ECH) before and after ptosis and dermatochalasis surgery. METHODS: Forty-four patients with blepharoptosis and dermatochalasis were enrolled. Intervention: An exploration of the levator tendon (LT) during a blepharoplasty procedure in patients with blepharoptosis and dermatochalasis and in case of its disinsertion, the tendon was reattached to the tarsus. Measured outcome: The differences between UELMF, MDR1, ECH before and after surgery were evaluated bilaterally. Dependency between both eyes was corrected by generalized estimating equations. Pearson correlation was used to evaluate the dependency of the two eyes regarding UELMF, MDR1 and ECH. RESULTS: There was a statistical significant difference between the measures of UELMF before and after surgery with excursion decreasing by a mean value of 1.1 mm after the procedure (P<0.001). Measures of MDR1 showed an increase by a mean of 1.6 mm and ECH decreased by a mean of 3.97 mm (P<0.001). We found a significant correlation between both eyes for all analyzed eyelid variables, both before and after surgery. Correlation before surgery was stronger for the group without previous surgery. The same results for correlation were found for the amount of disinsertion (P>0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Upper eyelid levator muscle function decreases after ptosis surgery.
