Abstract:
We evaluated ten ptotic eyes of two hundred thirty eight eyes which had a peri bulbar anesthesia in aspects of sex, age and type of operation. Also we clinically evaluated the degree of ptosis, the function of levator muscle and postoperative interval to recovery of ptosis. The results were as follows: 1. Ptosis developed in 10 eyes (4.2%). Sex distribution was 8 females (80.0%) and 2 males (20.0%), and age distribution was from 44 to 83 years old. 2. At the postoperative 1 day, the most common degree of ptosis was severe form (60.0%), followed by mild form (30.0%) and moderate form (10.0%). In the function of levator muscle, 5 eyes (60.0%) were fair, followed by poor (30.0%) and good (20.0%). 3. The postopertive interval to recovery of ptosis was from 2 to 60 days, and then 5 eyes (50.0%) were Group II, followed by Group I (30.0%) and Group Ill (20.0%).
