ABSTRACT
Introdução: O entrópio é definido como uma rotação interna da margem palpebral. O contato dos cílios e da pele palpebral com o globo ocular pode resultar em sintomas irritativos, abrasões e cicatrizes corneanas. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de apresentar a eficácia da técnica descrita por Lessa no tratamento do entrópio involucional. Métodos: Foram submetidos à correção do entrópio involucional 13 pálpebras inferiores de 11 pacientes. Utilizou-se a técnica de Lessa, em que é realizada uma incisão subciliar, descolamento subcutâneo, ressecção de faixa muscular e sutura pele-septo-pele, associada a um procedimento de suporte lateral. Resultados: Foram operados 11 pacientes (5 homens e 6 mulheres), com média de idade de 76,72 anos, (69 até 84 anos), totalizando 13 pálpebras, pois dois pacientes apresentavam a afecção bilateralmente. Em oito pacientes (9 pálpebras) usou-se a suspensão muscular. Em um paciente, a suspensão tarsal, e em dois (três pálpebras) o retalho tarsal. O tempo cirúrgico médio (por pálpebra) dos pacientes submetidos à suspensão muscular foi de 36,55 minutos, enquanto nos submetidos à cantoplastia foi de 56 minutos. Nenhum paciente apresentou recidiva e um paciente apresentou ectrópio. Conclusão: A técnica descrita por Lessa mostrou-se eficaz, pois não houve nenhum caso de recidiva.
Introduction: Entropion is defined as an internal rotation of the eyelid margin. The contact of the eyelid skin and eyelashes with the eye may result in irritating symptoms, corneal abrasions, and scars. The purpose of this study is to present the effectiveness of the technique described by Lessa in the treatment of involutional entropion. Methods: We underwent correction of involutional entropion on 13 lower eyelids. We used the Lessa technique, in which a subciliary incision was made, a skin flap was dissected from the orbicularis oculi, a muscle strip was resected, and a skinseptum- skin suture was made. The procedure was associated with lateral support. Results: There were 11 patients (5 men and 6 women) with a mean age of 76.72 years (69 to 84 years), totaling 13 eyelids, as two patients had bilateral pathology. Eight patients (9 eyelids) used muscular suspension technique. In one patient, the tarsal suspension was performed, and in two patients (three eyelids), we used the tarsal flap. The mean operative time (for eyelid) of patients undergoing muscle suspension was 36.55 min, while that in patient undergoing canthoplasty was 56 min. No patient had recurrence, and one patient developed ectropion. Conclusion: The technique described by Lessa proved to be effective since there was no recurrence.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the use of octyl-2-cyanoacrylate liquid bandage (Band-Aid liquid®, Ethicon, Johnson & Johnson, New Jersey, USA) as a temporary treatment in patients awaiting surgical repair for involutional entropion. METHODS: Thirteen patients (15 eyelids) with involutional entropion were evaluated while they waited for surgical intervention. The lids were repositioned by the application of octyl-2-cyanoacrylate liquid bandage in the malar fold. Patients were followed-up at days 1, 7 and 15. Assessment and duration of correction were recorded. RESULTS: All the patients presented successful correction at day 1, with significant improvements in signs and symptoms. The mean duration of action of the octyl2-cyanoacrylate liquid bandage was three days. No ocular or dermatological reactions were noted. CONCLUSION: Octyl-2-cyanoacrylate liquid bandage showed to be a simple, safe and effective option to temporarily treat involutional entropion, while patients waited for surgical intervention.
OBJETIVO: Avaliar o uso de octil-2-cianoacrilato (Band-Aid liquid®, Ethicon, Johnson & Johnson, New Jersey, EUA) como tratamento temporário em pacientes com entrópio involucional, enquanto aguardam cirurgia. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados treze pacientes (15 pálpebras) com entrópio involucional enquanto aguardavam tratamento cirúrgico definitivo. As pálpebras foram reposicionadas através da aplicação de octil-2-cianoacrilato na prega malar. Os pacientes foram avaliados nos dias 1, 7 e 15. Foram descritos os resultados e duração da aplicação. RESULTADOS: Todos os pacientes apresentaram melhora satisfatória da posição palpebral no dia 1, com melhora significativa dos sinais e sintomas. A média de duração da ação do octil-2-cianoacrilato foi de três dias. Não foram observadas reações dermatológicas ou oculares. CONCLUSÃO: Octil-2-cianoacrilato mostrou-se como uma alternativa simples, segura e eficaz para o tratamento temporário do entrópio involucional, enquanto os pacientes aguardavam a realização do tratamento cirúrgico.

Botulinum toxin blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction. The drug which was initially found to be useful in the treatment of strabismus has been extremely effective in the treatment of variety of conditions, both cosmetic and noncosmetic. Some of the noncosmetic uses of botulinum toxin applications include treatment of spastic facial dystonias, temporary treatment of idiopathic or thyroid dysfunction-induced upper eyelid retraction, suppression of undesired hyperlacrimation, induction of temporary ptosis by chemodenervation in facial paralysis, and correction of lower eyelid spastic entropion. Additional periocular uses include control of synchronic eyelid and extraocular muscle movements after aberrant regeneration of cranial nerve palsies. Cosmetic effects of botulinum toxin were discovered accidentally during treatments of facial dystonias. Some of the emerging nonperiocular application for the drug includes treatment of hyperhidrosis, migraine, tension-type headaches, and paralytic spasticity. Some of the undesired side effects of periocular applications of botulinum toxin inlcude ecchymosis, rash, hematoma, headache, flu-like symptoms, nausea, dizziness, loss of facial expression, lower eyelid laxity, dermatochalasis, ectropion, epiphora, eyebrow and eyelid ptosis, lagophthalmos, keratitis sicca, and diplopia
