Ptosis Abnormal drooping of upper eyelid Classification of ptosis Congenital ptosis Acquired ptosis

a. Myogenic ptosis- caused by myopathy of levator function or impaired transmission of impulses at neuromuscular junction Seen in case of myasthenia gravis, myotonic

dystrophy and LPS muscle trauma

May 3, 2023

Case report

18b. Neurogenic ptosis- caused by

innervational defect such as third nerve palsy or Horner’s syndrome

c. Aponeurotic ptosis- caused by defect in levator aponeurosis such as senile or postoperative cases

d. Mechanical ptosis- caused due to excessive weight on upper eyelid like as in eyelid tumours, scars and chalazion

Clinical manifestation Symptoms Asymptomatic if pupil is not covered Visual disturbance if pupil is covered Cosmetic disfigurement Diplopia Abnormal head posture and head tilt

Signs Narrow palpebral fissure height Absence of upper eyelid crease in case of

congenital ptosis Frontalis overaction Backward head tilt Signs related to underlying cause

Clinical evaluation of ptosis History taking- Age of onset Aggravating or alleviating factors Variation in amount of ptosis during the

day Associated with diplopia, abnormal head

Case report

28

Tensilion test-1 mg of neostigmine is injected in a

patient.In case of Myasthania gravis, ptosis

improves in 5-10 minutes

Cogan lid twitch test-Patient is asked to look downwards and

then in primary position quickly. The upper eyelid retracts and then droops slowly to ptotic condition.

Positive result suggests of Myasthania gravis in patient.

Management

Ptosis crutches- to hold the upper eyelid to avoid eyelid to cover the pupil

Treat the underlying causes Surgery – Tarso-conjunctivo-

Mullerctomy(Fasanella-servat operation) Levator resection Frontalis sling operation
