Abstract: We describe a clinical case of a patient with pachydermoperiostosis and bilateral palpebral ptosis. It is a hereditary, dominant autosomic disease, which affects skin, bones and soft tissues. In the eyelid, it causes an important tarsal hypertrophy. We discuss the physiopathology and treatment of the ptosis.

“…The remainder of the eye examination was normal. In addition to these ocular changes, the patient had digital clubbing, significant thickening of the skin with deep scalp furrows PHO can also be classified as: primary PHO, also called the Touraine-Solente-Gole Syndrome; and secondary PHO, known as the Pierre-Marie-Bamberger syndrome (6) . The secondary form is associated with chronic lung disease, hereditary congenital cyanotic heart disease, hepatobiliary disease, and paraneoplastic syndromes, and its clinical presentation is milder.…”
