    Author: Söylev MF, Oner FH, Durak I.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 2002 Mar; 18(2):156-8. PubMed ID: 11897959.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report ocular findings in a patient with cutis laxa acquisita. METHODS: Case report RESULTS: A 44-year-old man complained of excessively loose skin for 4 years and had no family history of skin disease. Dermatological examination showed lax and wrinkled skin all over his body. He had bilateral subconjunctival fat prolapse and dermatochalasis. CONCLUSIONS: This case of acquired form of cutis laxa is noteworthy because subconjunctival fat prolapse and dermatochalasis are uncommon at this relatively young age.
