ABSTRACT
The term "entropion" is defined as a turning inward of the eyelid. Depending on the mechanism of its causation, it may be classified into four types; mechanical, spastic, senile, and cicatricial. Cicatricial entropion follows scarring of the palpebral conjunctiva, which may be caused by trauma, chemical injuries, infections such as trachoma, benign ocular pemphigus, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and eyelid surgery. Distichiasis is a rare congenital anomaly in which aberrant separate row of lashes usually composed of hairs smaller than normal, appears along the posterior lid margin. Numerous surgical procedures have been described for surgical correction of cicatricial entropion and distichiasis in accordance with the severity of the condition. We have treated cicatricial entropion in 6 eyes(8 lids) and distichiasis in 3 eyes (3 lids) with sliding tarsoconjunctival grafting, and the results were satisfactory.
