ABSTRACT

Blepharochalasis is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent painless periorbital oedema, which leads to atrophy of the periorbital skin. Pathomechanism of the disease is probably immunological with a nearly complete loss of elastic fibres. The authors describe a 17-year-old woman, who was followed for 7 years. IgA deposits were found in the periorbital tissues, which confirm the immunological background of the condition. Electron microscopy results show that not only elastic but also collagen fibres were affected.
