    Author: Rovit AJ, Deupree DM, Zang YF, Biglan AW.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1988 Dec; 19(12):872-5. PubMed ID: 3231413.
    Abstract:
    Two children with congenital unilateral upper eyelid retraction were treated successfully with surgery at 2 years of age. Excellent results were obtained using a modification of Grove's marginal myotomy procedure for lengthening the levator palpebrae superiorus muscle. To our knowledge, early surgical treatment for this rare idiopathic disorder has not been reported previously.
