  • Title: Lacrimal gland prolapse in two cases of blepharochalasis syndrome and its treatment.
    Author: Çakmak S, Göncü T.
    Journal: Int Ophthalmol; 2014 Apr; 34(2):293-5. PubMed ID: 23543253.
    Abstract:
    Blepharochalasis is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent non-painful eyelid edema, which leads to atrophy and stretching of the supporting connective tissue around the eye. As a consequence, prolapse of the lacrimal gland can occur which results in fullness in the temporal third of the upper eyelids and may cause visual field restriction or cosmetic blemish for patients. Thus, correct diagnosis is important to plan appropriate surgery and obtain a successful postoperative result. We present two young patients with lacrimal gland prolapse associated with blepharochalasis and report on their treatment.
