Abstract:
Trichiasis is usually associated with congenital entropion or conjunctival destruction from disease or injuries. Cicatricial entropion follows scarring of the palpebral conjunctiva, which may be caused by chemical injuries, surgical procedures, trauma and infections. Numerous surgical procedures have been described for correction of trichiasis and cicatricial entropion in accordance with the severity and location of the condition. We have treated partial trichiasis in 2 cases(4 lids),(one involving nasal one forth of the upper lid with corrected congenital ptosis and the other in temporal one forth of the upper lid with narrow palpebral fissure) and cicatricial entropion on the middle one forth of the upper lid in 3 cases(3 lids) with transposition of skin flaps. The resuits were satisfactory.
