Abstract

The surgical correct1on of blepharoptosis is accomplished by utilizing certain materials, the levator, the frontalis or the superior rectus muscle. The perfect postoperative results are complete cover of the eye on lid closure, adequate mobility when blinking, normal lid fold and no diplopia. The authors obtained good results in two children of congenital ptosis by attaching medial one third of superior rectus muscle to lid margin which was reported by Motais in 1897. The operation which use the superior rectus muscle is not favored recently because of complicationals such as partial corneal exposure, vertical diplopia, difficulty in blinking, and partial obliteration of the upper conjunctival fornix. But, the results of these simple physiologic proceures for binocular paralytic ptosis were remarkable without any complications as the aboves for 3 months of follow up check.
