ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This case is the first report of unilateral ptosis associated with paradoxical movement on abduction in Korean literature and we report this case with a successful result of operations.METHODS:
We examined an 18-year-old male patient who had showed drooping of right eyelid since birth. The ptosis was exaggerated on abduction. He did not have any remarkable history of illness. Corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Ocular motility examination revealed full range of ductions and versions in all fields of gaze. On exophthalmometric examination, no difference was found in any direction of gaze between two eyes. Under the diagnosis of unilateral ptosis associated with paradoxical movement on abduction, levator resection of right upper lid and blepharoplasty of left upper lid were performed.RESULTS:
During operation, we noticed unusual finding that thickened tendon sheath was covering the lateral one third of levator aponeurosis. Paradoxical eyelid movement disappeared completely after secondary operation by removal of the previously noticed tendon sheath as much as possible.
