Modified Conjoint Fascial Sheath and Levator Muscle Complex Suspension for the Correction of Simple Severe Congenital Ptosis in Pediatrics and the Effect on Refractive Status.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the outcomes of modified combined fascia sheath and levator muscle complex suspension to correct severe congenital ptosis in pediatrics and the effect on refractive status.

Methods

This prospective, case series study enrolled patients (aged ≤18 years) with simple severe congenital ptosis at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center. All patients were treated with combined fascia sheath + levator muscle suspension and followed up for 3 months. Preoperative and postoperative cycloplegic refraction and the best-corrected visual acuity were performed. The types of astigmatism include with-the-rule, against-the-rule, and oblique.

Results

Thirty-six patients (50 eyes) were enrolled. The mean age was 7.11 ± 3.72 years. The surgery success rate was 90.0%. Following surg
