Widened palpebral fissure has been regarded as one of the hallmarks of Bell's palsy. However, the palpebral fissure on the affected side may be narrower than that of the unaffected side. The narrowing of the palpebral fissure has been often thought as a sign caused by weakness of the levator palpebrae and Muller's muscles. However, weakness of the frontal muscle may cause drooping of the eyebrow, resulting in the narrowing of the palpebral fissure. We describe a patient of Bell's palsy with a narrowing of the palpebral fissure.

PURPOSE: To analyze the morphologic changes of the eyelids among different age groups in Korean, and also th find out factors that influence there changes. METHODS: Tow hundred thirty six subjects without any ocular diseases were selected, and sorted by the age (ranging from teenage to the sixties and above), the gender, and according to the existence of the double fold. The pictures of frontal and lateral side of the subjects were taken. After scanning the pictures, MRD1 (marginal reflex distance 1), MRD2 (marginal reflex distance 2), the vertical distance from upper eyelid to eyebrow, the vertical and horizontal distance from medial to lateral canthus, and the horizontal distance between lateral canthus and corneal center were measured using computer-based AutoCAD R14. The measured distances were compared in each subjects. RESULTS: MRD1, MRD2, the vertical distance between medial and lateral canthus, and the horizontal distance between lateral canthus and corneal center were longest in people of the 3rd and 4th decade, and decreased. The horizontal distance between medial and lateral canthus was longest in people of the 5th decade, and decreased thereafter. The vertical distance between upper eyelid and eyebrow was shortest in people of the 4th decade and increased with aging. CONCLUSIONS: It is essential to acknowledge and understand the morphologic changes of the eyelids according to aging so that more satisfactory surgical outcomes may be achieved in cosmetic eyelid operation.

Alopecia areata(AA) is a common skin disorder with no uniformly successful form of therapy. We experienced two cases of AA on eyebrow improved by superficial cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen. Superficial cryotherapy can be used for the treatment of AA on eyebrow with excellent results.

The Q-switched lasers which was introduced under the concept of selective photothermolysis. Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, which targets dark pigments in a longer wave length (1064 nm) that has less absorption by melanin, can effectively treat deep tattoos with less pigmentary alterations. We report our experience over the past 3 years in treating 565 patients with tattoos and cutaneous pigmented lesions using the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. Patients were exposed with a pulse duration of 10 ns and fluences of 6, 7 J/cm2(1064 nm) or 12, 14 J/cm2(532 nm), in exposure spots of 2 mm or 3 mm, at intervals of 4 weeks. Q-switched Nd:YAG laser was effective in removing deep pigmented lesion with 1064 nm, and colored inks with 532 nm. Seventy-three percent of amateur black pigmented lesion were > 75% clear after four to ten treatment. Ninty-eight percent of professional black pigmented lesion were > 75% clear after two on eyebrow, six to eight on extremity and trunk. No significant side effects, including pigmentary changes or scarring, were noted.

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether upper eyelid blepharoplasty causes eyebrow position change in patients with or without brow ptosis. METHODS: We analyzed the photographic records of 28 patients 53 eyes with dermatochalasis who had undergone upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Brow-pupil, brow-lid margin, lid margin-pupil, brow-lateral canthus, and brow-medial canthus distances were measured, and then the proportions of medial canthus-nasal alar were taken. Preoperative and postoperative measurements were compared. RESULTS: After blepharoplasty, no one in the group without brow ptosis developed new brow ptosis. In the group with brow ptosis, only one patient felt a significant change in brow position after blepharoplasty. In both groups, the distance between the eyebrow and the lid margin decreased by similar amounts. There was no change in the upper eyelid margin position after blepharoplasty. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with dermatochalasis, upper eyelid blepharoplasty caused a lowering of the eyebrow without a change in the eyelid margin. It is important to evaluate the brow ptosis preoperatively and excise the correct amount of excess skin to avoid aggravation of brow ptosis.
