Blepharophimosis, ptosis, epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES syndrome)
Although von Ammon' first used the term blepharphimosis in 1841, it was Vignes2 in 1889 who first associated blepharophimosis with ptosis and epicanthus inversus. In 1921, Dimitry3 reported a family in which there were 21 affected subjects in five generations. He described them as having ptosis alone and did not specify any other features, although photographs in the report show that they proba...
متن کاملMüller muscle conjunctival resection for blepharoptosis in patients with poor to fair levator function.
It has been suggested that Müller muscle conjunctival resection might not be a good procedure for the treatment of blepharoptosis in patients with less than optimal levator function. This case series includes four eyelids (three patients) that had fair preoperative levator function (4 to 8 mm) and good response to phenylephrine. The mean preoperative levator function was 6.25 mm and the mean am...
متن کاملFOXL2 mutations in Chinese patients with blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome
PURPOSE Blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) is an autosomal dominant disorder where eyelid malformation associated with (type I) or without (type II) premature ovarian failure (POF). It is ascribed to mutations in the forkhead transcriptional factor2 (FOXL2) gene. The purpose of this study is to identify mutations in FOXL2 of Chinese patients with BPES. METHODS Genomic...

Blepharophimosis ptosis epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) is a complex eyelid malformation characterized by the classical tetrad of blepharophimosis, telecanthus, ptosis, and epicanthus inversus. It has been reported to be associated with other ocular anomalies such as euryblepharon, strabismus, nystagmus, amblyopia, microphthalmos, lacrimal drainage apparatus abnormality, extra ocular muscle...
