Abstract:
Lagophthalmos is a common observed complication of some lesions in the upper eyelid. The technique "allongement of elevator muscle" performed in 12 patients with lagophthalmos. This is simple technique that allows a effective reconstruction of the retraction of the upper eyelid and seems particularly useful in context of medium retraction. Very satisfactory esthetic and functional results obtained in almost patients.
