AI Article Synopsis
- Eyelid malpositions during pregnancy are uncommon and typically not linked to trauma, with few documented cases.
- A 38-year-old woman experienced eyelid malpositions in three different pregnancies, each requiring surgery for correction.
- Histological analysis showed degeneration of elastic tissue in her eyelids, and surgical repairs led to successful cosmetic and functional results.
Article Abstract
Eyelid malpositions as a complication of pregnancy, in the absence of associated trauma or injury, are rarely encountered. There are limited published reports on this phenomenon or subsequent surgical repair. We present the case of a 38-year-old female who experienced 3 separate episodes of eyelid malpositions, each occurring independently during 3 otherwise uncomplicated pregnancies, which persisted until surgical correction. Histological analysis of the patient's conjunctiva and tarsus revealed degeneration and loss of elastic tissue, crucial for eyelid anatomy. Surgical repair was performed in each instance, resulting in excellent cosmetic, anatomic, and visual outcomes.

Practice patterns among ophthalmic surgeons in treating concomitant oculoplastic conditions in preoperative period: A questionnaire-based study.
World J Clin Cases
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar 751019, Odisha, India.
Background: Addressing oculoplastic conditions in the preoperative period ensures both the safety and functional success of any ophthalmic procedure. Some oculoplastic conditions, like nasolacrimal duct obstruction, have been extensively studied, whereas others, like eyelid malposition and thyroid eye disease, have received minimal or no research.
Aim: To investigate the current practice patterns among ophthalmologists while treating concomitant oculoplastic conditions before any subspecialty ophthalmic intervention.

Umbilical Cord Amniotic Membrane Graft as a Skin Substitute in Periocular Reconstruction: A Case Series.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
January 2025
Kahana Oculoplastic and Orbital Surgery, Livonia, Michigan.
Loss of periocular skin due to cancer, trauma, or surgery is a major reconstructive challenge; resultant tissue contracture can cause eyelid malposition with poor functional and aesthetic outcomes. We describe the successful use of cryopreserved umbilical cord amniotic membrane as a wound covering and scaffold for periorbital anterior lamellar defects. This is a retrospective case series of 4 patients (mean 21 years, range 9-30 years, 3 male) who underwent periocular reconstruction with umbilical cord amniotic membrane of 9 different sites.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of a comprehensive surgical approach for rejuvenation of the aging lower periorbita.
Methods: Between February 2018 and January 2023, 80 eyes of 40 patients with lower lid dermatochalasis (LLD), lower lid laxity (LLL) or orbicularis laxity of the lower lid (OL) admitted to the oculoplastic surgery department of our clinic were included in the study. 18 eyes had LLD, 14 eyes had LLL, 18 eyes had LLD and LLL, and 30 eyes had LLD, LLL and OL.
