Abstract

Schwartz-Jampel syndrome is a rare disorder with prominent palpebral fissure changes. These changes are complex and have been described as ptosis, blepharophimosis, and blepharospasm. Two new cases of the Schwartz-Jampel syndrome and the results of elevating the upper eyelid margin with levator aponeurosis surgery are presented, along with a review of the literature.
