Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of single-stage surgery for treatment of patients with congenital ptosis and coexisting strabismus.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 10 patients (17 eyes) with congenital ptosis and coexisting strabismus. Patients were treated with levator resection or frontalis suspension for ptosis and ocular muscle surgery for strabismus, performed as a single-stage procedure. Levator resection was performed in 9 patients (15 eyes) and frontalis muscle flap suspension was performed in 1 patient (2 eyes) with blepharophimosis. Seven patients (11 eyes) simultaneously underwent exotropia correction, and inferior oblique myectomy was performed in 3 patients (3 eyes) with congenital superior oblique palsy.
Results: Satisfactory efficacy of single-stage surgery for correction of congenital ptosis and coexisting strabismus was achieved without complications.
Conclusions: Comprehensive preoperative examination is vital to determine the appropriate diagnosis and guide surgical decision-making. Single-stage surgery for congenital ptosis and coexisting strabismus is effective and a shortened treatment period is beneficial to patients. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2017;54(5):288-294.].

Ptosis is defined as an abnormally low-lying upper eyelid margin on the primary gaze, generally resulting from a congenital or acquired abnormality of the nerves or muscles that control the eyelid. Ptosis can occur alone or concurrently as an ocular or systemic syndrome, and the prevalence of ptosis varies among different countries and populations. Isolated ptosis typically causes aesthetic problems in patients and can lead to functional ophthalmic problems in severe cases.

Background: Punctal agenesis (PA) is a rare congenital anomaly that can occur in isolation or as part of an underlying syndrome. The benefit of genetic assessment in individuals with PA and clinical features that should prompt molecular workup has not been systematically studied. The aim of this study was to identify ocular and extraocular features associated with PA and determine its association with an underlying syndrome.

Kabuki syndrome is a rare genetic disease with multisystemic effects including ocular manifestations. The authors report a patient with known Kabuki syndrome who presented with bilateral euryblepharon, bilateral ptosis, OD hypotropia, and blue sclera. A bilateral lateral tarsal strip procedure was performed followed by a left frontalis sling with a silicone implant and a right external levator advancement with success.
