摘要
Pseudoblepharoptosis, which is characterized by ptotic eyelid appearance with normal levator function, is a common abnormality observed in Eastern Asians. Misdiagnosis of pseudoblepharoptosis may lead to inappropriate treatments and unwanted complications. Using the data obtained from a modified levator function examination, this study sought to improve the diagnosis and explore the appropriate treatment of pseudoblepharoptosis based on the typical eyelid anatomy of Eastern Asians.This retrospective study included patients with drooping and bulky eyelids who had been preoperatively diagnosed between January 2018 and December 2018 using a modified approach. Debulking of the retro-orbicularis oculus fat and orbital septum fat and release of the ligament-like structure were performed to correct pseudoblepharoptosis without manipulating the levator muscle. The functional and aesthetic outcomes were evaluated postoperatively.The proposed modified approach was significantly more accurate than the traditional technique. Of the patients, 78 (84.8%) and 9 (9.8%) showed good and moderate cosmetic outcomes, respectively. The margin reflex distance 1 value significantly improved from 1.74±0.87 mm preoperatively to 4.56±0.71 mm postoperatively ( P <0.05). Moreover, 179 (97.3%) of the 184 eyelids examined achieved adequate correction.The modified levator function examination approach used in this study may help improve the diagnosis of pseudoblepharoptosis. Surgical intervention focused on correcting the bulky and drooping upper eyelids and orbital septum may lead to satisfactory outcomes in Eastern Asians with pseudoblepharoptosis without manipulating the levator muscle.
