Bilateral blepharochalasis

Abstract: Blepharochalasis is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent painless periorbital oedema, which leads to atrophy of the periorbital skin. Pathomechanism of the disease is probably immunological with a nearly complete loss of elastic fibres. The authors describe a 17-year-old woman, who was followed for 7 years. IgA deposits were found in the periorbital tissues, which confirm the immunological background of the condition. Electron microscopy results show that not only elastic but also collagen fibres were af… Show more

“…This is a common physiologic condition resulting from redundant and lax skin with poor adhesion to the underlying muscle and connective tissue. 4,5 The tissue alterations found are different from normal aging changes in the skin in other areas of the body. There is a thinning of the epidermal tissue with loss of elastin, resulting in skin laxity and redundancy.…”
