Abstract

A 34-year-old African-American man was referred for eyelid swelling and ocular discomfort. He was found to have floppy hypertrophic eyelids and marked bilateral mechanical ptosis that was present since childhood. Systemic examination was significant for furrows on his forehead and scalp, coarse facial features, and enlarged hands and feet with clubbing of the fingers and toes. Radiographic imaging of the long bones demonstrated periostosis, and MRI of the head revealed a pituitary macroadenoma. Pituitary and thyroid hormone levels were normal. The patient was diagnosed with pachydermoperiostosis and a non-secreting pituitary macroadenoma. Bilateral upper lid tightening via wedge resection was followed by bilateral external levator advancement ptosis repair in a staged manner. The patient achieved symptom relief and improved lid position postoperatively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

2. Spontaneous Globe Luxation Associated with Shallow Orbits and Floppy Eyelid Syndrome.

Abstract

Spontaneous globe luxation is a rare and distressing phenomenon. We report three cases which characterise the aetiology of spontaneous anterior globe luxation in the presence of a shallow orbital configuration and lax eyelids. All patients suffered from floppy eyelid syndrome (FES). Orbital imaging revealed no orbital masses and normal extraocular muscles. Shallow orbits with significant globe projection was noted. There was no clinical, radiological or serological evidence of thyroid ophthalmopathy. In this group of patients, the aetiology of spontaneous globe luxation is likely to be contingent on both shallow orbits and lax eyelids. The different treatment options for this condition are considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

PURPOSE The Lax Eyelid Syndrome was described by Van den Bosch and Lemij 1 as an uncommon disorder seen in non-obese elderly people and characterised by chronic ocular surface irritation symptoms and a “floppy upper eyelid”. The authors present some new features of the lax eyelid syndrome. METHODS The authors report five patients, belonging to a younger age group, who presented with premature laxity of all the eyelid tissues. This caused medial and lateral canthal dystopia and eyelid malposition including ptosis, entropion and ectropion. Initial surgical correction was often followed by recurrence after some time. CONCLUSIONS The authors highlight the differences between lax eyelid syndrome, cutis laxa, floppy eyelid syndrome and the blepharochalasis syndrome and suggest that lax eyelid syndrome can be thought of as “progeria” or premature ageing of the eyelid tissues to distinguish it clearly from these other conditions.

4. Floppy eyelid syndrome associated with Demodex Brevis

Abstract

Six male patients with the floppy eyelid syndrome are described. They were successfully treated by lateral shortening of their eyelids. The excised eyelid blocks were histologically examined. In five of the six cases, the Meibomian glands were infested by the mite Demodex brevis. When compared with 20 randomly selected eyelid blocks, the incidence of Demodex brevis in the floppy eyelids was statistically significantly high (p< 0.01). These findings suggest a role of Demodex brevis in the pathogenesis of the floppy eyelid syndrome. Such a role has not been recognized before.

7. Floppy eyelid syndrome in pachydermoperiostosis

Abstract

The occurrence of floppy eyelid syndrome in pachydermoperiostosis has not previously been described. The authors present one such case and review the current literature and differential diagnosis. Histological studies demonstrated marked structural changes within the tarsus which appear to be initiated by abnormal meibomian gland hypertrophy.In the light of their findings the authors propose that floppy eyelid syndrome occurs in primary and secondary forms, differentiated by the presence of a systemic or localized disorder with the potential to produce initial structural changes within the eyelids. The surgical management of floppy eyelid syndrome is discussed.
