INTRODUCTION Ichthyosis is a group of keratinizing diseases characterized by scaly and dry skin. One of the ocular complications associated with ichthyosis is cicatricial ectropion which often results in exposure keratopathy and eventually corneal scarring. PRESENTATION OF CASE In this report we are presenting a 21-year-old female who is known to have ichthyosis-related bilateral lower lid ci...

Ectropion is characterized by the eversion of the eyelid margin and the consequent exposure of the conjunctiva and cornea. The shortening of the anterior lamella of the lid causes cicatricial ectropion. We described a case of skin pathology causing cicatricial ectropion. The case is about a 68-year-old woman with a 2-year history of psoriatic arthritis. She complained of eyelid tearing and redn...

Purpose To describe a case of bilateral conjunctivitis and cicatricial ectropion associated with dupilumab therapy for atopic dermatitis. Observations Severe hyperemia of the conjunctiva and eyelid margins, as well as cicatricial ectropion, began two months after starting weekly dupilumab injections for atopic dermatitis. The findings worsened over the next several months and improved after d...

Ectropion is a malposition of eyelid in which the eyelid is pulled away from the globe. It is classified in the following categories: congenital and acquired, which may be involutional, paralytic, cicatricial and mechanical. Depending on the etiology and the predominant location of ectropion, a variety of surgical techniques are available for its correction. In this retrospective study, 52 eyel...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the viability of skin grafts used for correction of cicatricial ectropion resulting from previous ablative surgery and radiotherapy for head and neck cancer and to report overall outcomes of cicatricial ectropion repair. METHODS This is a retrospective, noncomparative case series of all consecutive patients with head and neck cancer who had...

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...

purpose: to evaluate the outcomes of surgery for cicatricial ectropion in labbafinejad hospital, tehran, iran. methods: this existing data study was conducted on the hospital records of 84 patients who underwent eyelid surgery because of cicatricial ectropion. results: z-plasty was the most frequent method among 9 techniques. of 92 eyelids, 60 (65%) were completely corrected. the most frequent ...

Cetuximab (Erbitux) is an antiepidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody that has been shown to delay the progression of metastatic colorectal cancer. The cutaneous side effects of cetuximab resulting from its effects on normal epidermal cells are well established. Periocular side effects, including blepharitis, trichomegaly, dry eye and conjunctivitis, have also been reported....

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...

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...
