Thus the septum orbitale is described by some authors as arising from the orbital margin and ending where it blends with the aponeurosis of the le...

متن کاملLevator palpebrae biopsy and diagnosis of progressive external ophthalmoplegia.
BACKGROUND Progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO) is a mitochondrial myopathy of ocular muscles. Diagnostic investigation usually involves limb skeletal muscle biopsy and molecular genetic studies, although diagnostic yield tends to be low. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic yield obtained by analysis of levator palpebrae (LP) muscle tissue. METHODS This is a clinico...
متن کاملAponeurosis of the levator palpebrae superioris in Chinese subjects
An accurate understanding of the anatomy of the levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis (LPSA) is critical for successful blepharoplasty of aponeurotic ptosis. We investigated the macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of the LPSA.This prospective live gross anatomy study enrolled 200 adult Chinese patients with bilateral mild ptosis undergoing elective blepharoplasty. Full-thick eyelid tissues a...
متن کاملMuscle spindles in the levator palpebrae superioris muscle of human foetuses.
Studies were performed on the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, isolated from foetuses aged 17 to 30 weeks. The number of muscle spindles varied from 2 in the 17th week to 7 in the 30th week. The length of the muscle spindles ranged from 20 to 500 microm, and the diameter varied from 10 to 70 microm. These observations show that the number of muscle spindles in levator palpebrae superioris m...
