PARADOXICAL lid retraction of the ptotic lid on occlusion of the sound eye and several other synkinetic oculopalpebral phenomena are described in the literature in relation to ophthalmoplegia, congenital as well as acquired (Lewallen, 1958; Walsh, 1957). Fuchs's phenomenon of lid retraction on lateral movement, the pseudo-Graefe phenomenon with depression and lid retraction on elevation, are al...

The volume of the levator superior rectus muscle complex was determined from computed tomography scans of 152 orbits from 76 patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy. Clinically observed lid retraction and lid lag did not correlate with the levator/superior rectus muscle volume and did not correlate with limitation of vertical eye movements or inferior rectus muscle volume. These results do not sup...

Purpose: A chief morbidity of Graves’ eye disease (GED) is upper lid retraction that results in exposure keratopathy and cosmetic deformity. This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of graded anterior blepharotomy to treat upper lid retraction. Methods: Fifty eyelids of 32 patients with GED-associated upper lid retraction causing symptomatic ocular exposure were treated with graded, tran...

Treating unilateral ptosis can be challenging and a proper preoperative evaluation may help prevent unexpected outcomes on the contralateral lid. Preoperative evaluation should include testing for Hering's law, which remains useful in understanding the phenomenon of induced contralateral eyelid retraction in the context of ptosis. Approximately 10% to 20% of patients with unilateral ptosis have...

Upper eyelid retraction is a characteristic feature of thyroid eye disease, including Graves' orbitopathy. In this study, a new surgical technique for correction of lid retraction secondary to Graves' orbitopathy is described. Sixteen eyelids of patients older than 18 years old underwent surgical correction for moderate to severe lid retraction secondary to Graves' orbitopathy. In this procedur...

Plus minus lid syndrome is an ocular syndrome characterized by unilateral ptosis and contralateral lid retraction. Also when the ipsilateral lid is raised manually, the contralateral retracted lid does not revert. This patient presented with features of plus minus lid syndrome with ataxia due to a vascular mesencephalic lesion.

introduction: aim of the study was to determine the efficacy of minor lateral tarsorrhaphy in conjunction with levator muscle recession in thyroid ophthalmopathic patients with severe lid retraction in order to correct the temporal flare in these patients methods: in a before-after clinical trial study, 22 eyelids of 12 patients with severe lid retraction underwent surgery by this method and th...
