We report a case of a lower lid ectropion with ectodermal dysplasia and ectropion blepharoplasty surgery experience. A 14-year-old Han nationality male patient with typical characteristics of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia presented to our clinic for his right lower lid eversion. The patient was diagnosed as having hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and underwent an uneventful blepharoplasty ...

This study reports a case of Blastomyces dermatitidis soft tissue infection resulting in a disfiguring lower eyelid ectropion from cicatricial and postinflammatory cutaneous changes. Primary treatment included intravenous amphotericin B followed by long-term oral itraconazole, which resulted in complete remission of the disease without debridement, after which cicatricial ectropion was repaired...

Tessier III clefts represent one of the most difficult and challenging malformations of the face to repair. Ectropion caused by a Tessier III cleft may be secondary to a vertical loss of both the anterior and posterior lamellae of the lower eyelids.A composite Z plasty to treat recurrence of cicatricial ectropion of the lower eyelids in Tessier III cleft is described. This is not only a technic...

Eleven patients with cutaneous anthrax of the eyelids are presented. The complications were cicatricial ectropion (eight patients), resulting in corneal scarring (three patients). The ectropion was corrected by full thickness postauricular skin grafts, with good results. The predilection of this infection for the eyelids of young children and a seasonal variation suggest that a vector may be in...

Background In patients with leprosy, paralysis of the facial nerve results in the lower eyelid ectropion and lagophthalmos as a sequela even when the leprosy is cured. Paralytic ectropion causes many functional and cosmetic eye problems, leading to blindness if left untreated. Objective The purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate the efficacy of surgical correction of paralytic ect...

Ectropion is a turning outward of the free border of the eyelid, resulting in exposure of the conjunctiva [1]. It is classified in the following categories: congenital and acquired, which may be involutional, paralytic, cicatricial and mechanical [2,3]. Tarsal ectropion is a clinical condition characterized by lower lid eversion which is limited to the tarsal-containing portion alone [4,5]. It ...

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and complications of a novel surgical technique for cicatricial lower lid ectropion that uses a vertical-to-horizontal (V-to-H) rotational myocutaneous flap procedure (Tsai procedure). Methods We performed the V-to-H rotational myocutaneous flap procedure on 20 eyelids in 20 patients with mild to moderate cicatricial lower lid ectropion. A vertical myocutane...

Lower lid ectropion is caused by the imbalance of the lower lid protractors and retractors. Laxity of the canthal tendons will affect the degree and location of the ectropion as well as the surgical decisions for its repair. A schema for the individualization of surgical correction as well as a new application of temporalis muscle transfer is presented.

Desquamative inflammatory vaginitis is a poorly understood chronic vaginitis with an unknown etiology. Symptoms of desquamative inflammatory vaginitis include copious yellowish discharge, vulvovaginal discomfort, and dyspareunia. Cervical ectropion, the presence of glandular columnar cells on the ectocervix, has not been reported as a cause of desquamative inflammatory vaginitis. Although cervi...
