摘要:
THE AESTHETIC AND functional morbidity associated with facial palsy is significant. Fortunately, corneal exposure and ulceration with the potential for the loss of visual acuity can be minimized by eyelid procedures such as gold weight implantation and horizontal eyelid shortening. Although primarily designed for restoration of eyelid function, these procedures also improve ocular cosmesis. However, uncertainty remains regarding the indications for eyelid surgery: When should surgery be performed, in whom, and which procedure(s)? On the basis of our series of 60 patients evaluated for facial paralysis, guidelines for the management of the paralyzed eyelids after iatrogenic injury to the facial nerve are proposed.
