ABSTRACT

La ptosis palpebral es una de las patologías más frecuentes en la consulta de oftalmología, tanto en urgencias como en el ámbito ambulatorio. El trauma del párpado superior puede provocar ptosis o retracción o una combinación de ambos. En este tipo de ptosis palpebral, su resolución mediante tratamiento quirúrgico, existiendo múltiples alternativas de procedimientos que se decidirá de acuerdo con la causas que las originan, así como la severidad de la ptosis. En este trabajo es a propósito de un caso clínico en el cual nos encontramos una paciente con ptosis palpebral traumática recidivante, utilizándose suspensión frontal con aponeurosis de músculo temporal, realizándose una variación de la técnica de Crawford disminuyendo la probabilidad de nueva recidiva

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

Purpose: To quantify and compare the effects of instillation with 10% phenylephrine and digital lifting on the contralateral upper eyelid of patients with involutional bilateral blepharoptosis. Methods: The present prospective clinical study involved patients with involutional bilateral blepharoptosis who underwent two tests: 1) digital lifting of the more ptotic eyelid and observation of the effect on the contralateral eyelid and 2) instillation of two drops of 10% phenylephrine in the more ptotic eye and observation of the effect on the contralateral eyelid. Patients were filmed before and 5, 10, and 15 min after instillation, and the resulting images were analyzed to obtain eyelid measurements. The results were tested using a linear mixed-effects model. Results: A total of 27 patients, ranging from 52 to 82 years of age (mean age 68.51 ± 8.21 years), 24 (88.88%) of whom were women, were included in the present study. In eyes that received instillation, the marginal distance reflex-1 (MDR1) values increased from baseline (1.21 ± 0.60 mm) until 10 min after instillation, then remained statistically unchanged until 15 min after instillation (2.42 ± 0.90 mm). Significant differences were observed in the contralateral eye of the group that underwent digital lifting (1.51 ± 0.53 mm - 1.63 ± 0.56 mm) and in the contralateral eye of the group that underwent 10% phenylephrine instillation (1.38 ± 0.54 mm - 1.63 ± 0.56 mm); p=0.02 and p<0.01, respectively. Conclusion: In all eyes, 10% phenylephrine elevated the upper eyelid, with improved eyelid height at 10 min after instillation. Significant differences were observed in the height of the contralateral eyelid when compared before and after each intervention in each group; however, this difference was very small and nearly undetectable by conventional clinical evaluation in the digital lifting group. However, the 10% phenylephrine eye-drop test resulted in substantial changes in MDR1 values ...


Objetivo: Quantificar e comparar o efeito da instilação do colírio de fenilefrina 10% com o levantamento manual da pálpebra superior contralateral de pacientes com ptose palpebral bilateral involucional. Métodos: Estudo clínico e prospectivo de pacientes com ptose palpebral bilateral involucional submetidos a dois testes: 1) elevação manual da pálpebra mais ptótica e observação do efeito da intervenção na pálpebra contralateral; e 2) a instilação de duas gotas de colírio de fenilefrina 10% no olho mais ptótico e observação do efeito da intervenção na pálpebra contralateral. Os pacientes foram filmados antes e 5, 10 e 15 minutos após a instilação. Os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente com o modelo linear de efeitos mistos. Resultados: O estudo incluiu 27 pacientes com idade entre 52-82 anos (68,51 ± 8,21), 24 dos quais eram do sexo feminino (88,88%). Em olhos submetidos a instilação do colírio, os valores da DMR1 (distância marginal reflexo) aumentaram da linha de base (1,21 ± 0,60 mm) até os 10 min, em seguida, manteve-se estatisticamente estável até 15 min (2,42 ± 0,90 mm). Diferenças significativas foram observadas nos olhos contralaterais, independentemente do levantamento manual da pálpebra (1,51 ± 0,53 mm - 1,63 ± 0,56 milímetros) e da instilação do colírio de fenilefrina 10% (1,38 ± 0,54 mm - 1,63 ± 0,56 mm), p=0,02 e p<0,01 respectivamente. Conclusões: Em todos os olhos, a instilação do colírio de fenilefrina 10% mostrou um aumento gradual do valor de distância marginal reflexo até os 10 min. Nos olhos contralaterais houve diminuição do valor de distância marginal reflexo, independentemente do teste realizado, porém as mudanças que ocorrem na posição da pálpebra contralateral, durante o teste da elevação manual, são muito pequenas e difíceis de serem detectadas no exame clínico convencional. Enquanto isso, o teste de colírio de fenilefrina 10% produziu mudanças substanciais nos valores distância marginal reflexo nos ...

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A descida das sobrancelhas faz parte do processo natural de envelhecimento do terço superior da face. A ação da musculatura glabelar é uma das causas desta ptose e de outros sinais de envelhecimento. Estes sinais devem ser diagnosticados e tratados de maneira adequada durante os procedimentos de blefaroplastia sob pena de piora da ptose e de resultado não satisfatório. Métodos: Ao longo dos últimos 17 anos, um total de 246 pacientes, portadores de alterações do terço superior da face e com indicação de blefaroplastia, foram submetidos à elevação transpalpebral das sobrancelhas pela técnica de McCord modificada, mediante ampla dissecção, maior número de pontos de fixação e miomectomias dos músculos corrugadores e prócerus. Os pacientes foram acompanhados com avaliações ambulatoriais e com registros fotográficos nos 6 e 12 meses de pós-operatório. Resultados: A intercorrência mais comum foi a parestesia temporária da região frontal e do couro cabeludo. Não ocorreram casos de hematomas pós-operatórios. Ao longo do tempo foram observados resultados consistentes, com manutenção da elevação das sobrancelhas e diminuição efetiva da ação da musculatura glabelar, sem cicatrizes no couro cabeludo. Conclusões: A elevação transpalpebral de sobrancelhas, associada à miomectomia glabelar, mostra-se uma alternativa adequada, segura e efetiva para tratamento dos sinais de envelhecimento do terço superior da face.


Introduction: The brows lowdown naturally occur as an aspect of the aging upper face process. The glabelar muscular action is one cause of this ptosis and also of others aging signs. These signs must be adequately treated during the blepharoplasty, to avoid the penalty of a limited final result. Methods: Along of the last 17 years, a total of 246 patients with aesthetic problems of the upper face and with blepharoplasty indication, were submitted to a transpalpebral browlift by modified McCord technique, based in a extended dissection, more fixation stitches and prócerus and corrugators muscles miomectomy. Out patients follow-up were in ambulatory conditions with photographic records after 6 and 12 months. Results: The most common intercurrence was a transient parestesia of the frontal region and of the scalp. No postoperative hematomas were registered. The results were consistent with maintenance of the eyebrows elevation and the effective reduction of the glabelar muscles action, without the necessity of any type of coronal incision. Conclusions: The transpalpebral brow elevation associated with glabellar myomectomy shows to be an adequate option, by its safe and effective procedures for the treatment of the upper face aging signs.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A blefaroptose ou ptose palpebral caracteriza-se pelo posicionamento anômalo da pálpebra superior em relação à sua posição normal, que é de 1 a 2 mm abaixo do limbo superior da íris; pode variar, apresentando desde uma queda discreta, até a oclusão total da fenda palpebral. Em geral, trata-se de deficiência muscular ou nervosa, de etiologia congênita ou adquirida, que resulta na impossibilidade de elevação completa da pálpebra superior, podendo também ocorrer por desinserção aponeurótica. Apresenta-se neste trabalho a tática da sutura contínua da aponeurose do músculo levantador ao tarso, ou mesmo na sua plicatura, para o tratamento da ptose leve ou moderada. Métodos: No período de 2006 a 2012, foram realizadas 26 cirurgias, abordando a aponeurose do músculo levantador com encurtamento na relação 4:1, usando sutura contínua em duplo sentido, finalizando-a com ponto em formato de oito. Resultados: Em 88,32% dos casos, os resultados foram bons e, em 11,68%, regulares. Apenas um caso evoluiu com retração na pálpebra superior, elevando o sulco palpebral. Observou-se correção incompleta, com ptose residual de 2 a 4 mm em 2 casos, os quais foram submetidos a revisão cirúrgica após 6 meses.


Introduction: Blefaroptose or eyelid ptosis is characterized by the anomalous positioning of the upper eyelid in relation to its normal position, which is 1 to 2 mm below the upper margin of the iris. It can vary from a slight descent to a total occlusion of the eyelid slit. In general, whether caused by a muscular or nerve deficiency, congenital or acquired, it results in the impossibility to use the muscle to raise the eyelid. It can also occur due to the detachment of the aponeurosis. Presented in this study is the tactic of continuous suture of the aponeurosis of the lifting muscle at the tarsus or at its foldings, for the treatment of light or moderate ptosis. Methods: In the period from 2006 to 2012, we analyzed 26 eyelids submitted to surgical treatment. 24 were operated upon, addressing the aponeurosis of the raising muscle with a shortening in the relation of 4:1 and, in 2 cases, with the reinsertion of the aponeurosis in the raising muscle of the eyelid, using continuous two-way suture completing the same with a stitch in a figure eight. Results: In 88.32% of the cases, the results were considered good, and in 11.68% satisfactory.

ABSTRACT

A ptose palpebral ou blefaroptose caracteriza-se pela disfunção, ou inabilidade do paciente em realizar a abertura da fenda palpebral de maneira normal. Geralmente é decorrente do acometimento do músculo levantador da pálpebra; a forma congênita ocorre em 60% a 70%. No presente trabalho é descrito um caso de ptose palpebral congênita moderada em uma paciente de nove anos, com boa função do músculo levantador da pálpebra, em olho esquerdo. A paciente foi submetida a tratamento cirúrgico pela técnica de Lester Jones, indicada nos casos de ptose de grau moderado, apresentando um resultado estético e funcional satisfatório.


Palpebral ptosis or blepharoptosis is characterized by the dysfunction or inability of the patient to normally open the palpebral fissure. Usually, it is due to the involvement of the eyelid levator muscle. The congenital form occurs in 60%-70% of cases. In this study, we describe a case of moderate congenital palpebral ptosis in a 9-year-old patient who presented with a good eyelid levator muscle function in the left eye. The patient underwent surgical treatment with the Lester Jones technique, as indicated for cases of moderate ptosis, and achieved satisfactory aesthetic and functional results.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: O fenômeno de Marcus Gunn é uma ptose congênita rara e pouco conhecida, de origem neurogênica, de fisiopatogenia ainda não esclarecida. Os autores relatam um caso de ptose acentuada e recidivada após quatro correções cirúrgicas, e fazem uma breve revisão bibliográfica. RELATO DE CASO: Adulto jovem de 19 anos, sexo masculino, foi submetido a quatro tentativas de correção de ptose palpebral a direita em outros serviços, sem diagnóstico da origem da ptose congênita. O paciente apresentava abertura palpebral do olho direito ao abrir a boca, ao lateralizar o olhar para o lado ipse-lateral, e ao fechamento do olho contra-lateral. A última cirurgia foi realizada 2 anos antes, com posicionamento e fixação de fitas de silicone. O paciente não apresentava nenhum déficit neurológico ou visual. Foi submetido à cirurgia para remoção das fitas de silicone anteriormente posicionadas, confecção de enxertos em fita de técido fibroconectivo da fáscia lata do membro inferior direito, miectomia do musculo elevador da pálpebra ptosada, fixação dos enxertos da fáscia lata na borda superior do tarso com tração e fixação ao musculo frontal ipsilateral. Evoluiu com movimentos sincrônicos das pálpebras bilateralmente, e sem recidiva do ptose até o presente momento.


INTRODUCTION: Marcus Gunn syndrome is a rare and little known congenital ptosis of neurogenic origin. Its physiopathological mechanism has not been clarified. The authors report a case of pronounced ptosis that relapsed after four surgical corrections, along with a brief literature review. CASE REPORT: A 19-year-old young adult underwent four surgical corrections of the right palpebral ptosis in other services, without a definite diagnosis of the origin of the congenital ptosis. The patient showed eyelid opening in the right eye on opening the mouth, when the eye is lateralized to the ipsilateral side, and with contralateral eye closure. The last surgery was performed 2 years prior, during which silicone bands were placed and fixated. The patient did not present any visual or neurological deficit. He underwent surgery in order to remove the silicone bands that were previously placed, to prepare the strip grafts made of fibrous connective tissue from the fascia lata of the right inferior limb, and to perform myectomy of the levator muscle of the palpebral ptosis, fixation of the fascia lata grafts at the upper edge of the tarsus with traction and fixation to the ipsilateral frontal muscle. The patient progressed with synchronic movements of the eyelids bilaterally, and without relapse of the ptosis until the present date.

ABSTRACT

Las sinquinesis son movimientos simultáneos o coordinados en secuencia de mivimientos de músculos suplidos por diferentes nervios o por ramas independientes del mismo nervio que ocurren luego de la recuperación de una lesión axonal periferica; son debidos a la dirección errónea ("misdirection") que toman algunos axones hacia otros músculos que no constituyen su objetivo o blanco; así, cuando el paciente intenta mover algunos músculos, ocurren contracciones involuntarias en otros, no esperadas anatómicamente. Es una suerte de recableado mal realizado y confuso. En las dos pacientes que constituyen nuestro informe, ocurrieron alteraciones óculomotoras excepcionales. En la primera de 60 años portadora de un aneurisma gigante del senocavernoso izquierdo, la sinquinesis nerviosa aberrante ocurrió entre los nervios craneales tercero y sexto. En la segunda de 22 años a quien se resecó un osteocondroma gigante de la fosa media derecha, desarrolló una parálisis total del tercer nerviocraneal con sinquinesis trigémino-oculomotora entre el músculo pterigoideo derecho y el elevador del párpado superior; así como también entre el tercero (recto inferior) y sexto nervios (recto externo) ipsolateral. Se revisa la literatura al respecto.


Synkinesis are simultaneous or coordinated sequential movements of muscles that are supplied by different nerves or have independent nerve branches. They occur after the recovery a peripheral axonal injury. They are due to axons taking a wrong direction ("misdirection") towards muscles that do not constitute their objetives or targets. Thus, when the patient attempts to move a muscle, other muscles show anatomically unexpected involuntary contractions. It is a sort of confusing rewiring. Our report is based on the exceptional oculomotor alterations that occurred in two patients. In the first patient, a 60 years-old female carrying a giant aneurysm of the left cavernous sinus, the aberrant nerve synkinesis ocurred between the third and sixth cranial nerves. In the second patient, a 22 year-old female to whom was resected a giant osteochondroma of the right middle fossa, developed a total paralysis of the third cranial nerve with trigeminal oculomotor synkinesis between the right pterygoid muscle and the elevator of the upper eyelid; as well as between the inferior rectus and ipsilateral external rectus. We review the literature on the subject.

ABSTRACT

El aumento en la incidencia de traumatismos faciales secundarios a accidentes automovilísticos, agresiones en la vía pública u otras causas ha traído aparejado consecuentemente un incremento en la observación de otros cuadros clínicos, dentro de los cuales encontramos la ptosis palpebral traumática. De difícil diagnóstico en su fase inicial motivada por el edema o injuria de los tejidos, presenta a su vez dentro del trauma algunas variantes en su fisiopatología (traumática, mecánica, miogénica o pseudoptosis), las cuales es preciso conocer y diferenciar para indicar su adecuado tratamiento y el momento oportuno... Se dan pautas de tratamiento en función de la etiología y el tiempo transcurrido.

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.

ABSTRACT

La reconstrucción funcional y estética del párpado traumático requiere el conocimiento anatómico y funcional de sus partes. El análisis semiológico previo permite reconocer la causa de la ptosis y poder planificar el acto quirúrgico...La reconstrucción palpebral traumática con alteración de todas las unidades requiere la individualización de cada unidad anatómica. La exploración minuciosa, permite detectar la causa y poder restablecer con diferentes procedimientos la función natural palpebral. El caso clínico-quirúrgico presentado demuestra que restableciendo los parámetros anátomos-funcionales de la región se puede ofrecer un tratamiento tanto reparador como estético.


The functional and aesthetic reconstruction of the traumatic eyelid requires the precise knowledge of the periorbital anatomy. A previous complete semiologic exam helps to clarify the ethiology of ptosis and planning the surgical procedure...The patient recovers the eyelid function and presents a very good post op evolution with a good functional and aesthetic result. The surgical aproach detects the etiology and with different techniques provides a natural eyelid function. This clincal case shows that we can offer a direct repair and aesthetic solution by restablishing the anatomic-functional periorbital units.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Quantificar a gordura presente no músculo levantador da pálpebra de portadores de ptose congênita, correlacionando este achado com fatores clínico-epidemiológicos desta afecção. MÉTODOS: Vinte e duas amostras de músculo levantador da pálpebra superior, provenientes de portadores de ptose congênita, foram avaliadas morfometricamente, com o intuito de quantificar a gordura presente nos espécimes e correlacionar este achado com características como idade, sexo, grau de ptose e função do músculo levantador. RESULTADOS: Não houve correlação entre a quantidade de gordura encontrada no músculo levantador de portadores de ptose congênita e os dados clínicos dos pacientes estudados. CONCLUSÃO: A quantidade de gordura presente no músculo levantador da pálpebra superior, nas condições do presente estudo, não está associada com idade, sexo, grau de ptose ou função do músculo levantador. Novos estudos serão necessários para avaliar a real alteração que ocorre no músculo levantador da pálpebra de indivíduos com ptose palpebral.


PURPOSE: To quantify the fat in the levator muscle of patients with congenital ptosis, as related to clinical and epidemiological aspects of this disease. METHODS: Twenty-two levator muscle samples of the superior eyelid from patients with congenital ptosis were morphometrically evaluated with aim of establishing a relationship between the fat quantity and age, sex, ptosis degree and levator muscle function. RESULTS: According to our results the fat in the levator muscle of patients with congenital ptosis is not related to gender or epidemiologic aspects. CONCLUSION: Fat amount in the levator muscle from congenital ptosis is not related to age, sex, ptosis degree or levator muscle function. Other studies will be necessary to show the real alterations in the levator muscle related to eyelid ptosis.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE, Goretex (R) ) containing large pores made with a 21-gauge needle as a graft for the correction of lower lid retraction. METHODS: e-PTFE grafts were implanted between the tarsus and lower lid retractor via a transconjunctival approach with/without amniotic membrane transplantation, or via a transcutaneous approach. Rabbits were examined and assessed for corneal and conjunctival complications and for e-PTFE graft status. Rabbits were sacrificed for a histological study at 8 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS: e-PTFE grafts were uniformly extruded 3 weeks postoperatively in eyelids operated on via the transconjunctival approach. However, rabbits operated on via the transcutaneous approach demonstrated e-PTFE graft retention; in addition, dense fibrovascular ingrowths into the large pores of e-PTFE were observed histologically. CONCLUSIONS: e-PTFE is a good substitute for other graft materials as a spacer in lower lid retraction operations, especially as an interpositional graft using a transcutaneous approach.

ABSTRACT

Kearns-Sayre syndrome, first described by Kearns and Sayre in 1958, is a rare disorder consisting of ptosis, limited movement of both eyes and atypical retinal pigmentary change (salt-pepper like appearance). Most cases have shown an increase in the concentration of mitochondria and ragged-red fiber under Gomori-trichrome staining on muscle biopsy. Occasionally, it is combined with other neurologic and endocrinologic symptoms such as ataxia, dementia, diabetes, and hyperaldosteronism. We recently experienced three cases of male teenaged patients who expressed the clinical features of Kearns-Sayre syndrome.
