Senile Entropion*

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Pre- and Postoperative Lower Eyelid States in Involutional Entropion

“…4,11,12 This method entails a precise anatomical reconstruction of the lower eyelid. Moreover, the recurrence rate of involutional entropion 9 is the lowest among the major surgical methods.Therefore, all the surgery in this study was carried out using the Jones procedure.…”

“…6 Jones et al 4 suggested that the origin of involutional entropion was laxity in the lower eyelid retractor, and reported a surgical method focusing on the lower eyelid retractor (the Jones procedure). Good outcomes have been achieved using this method, 4,7-9 with the external appearance being reconstructed after such an operation.…”

“…Involutional entropion mainly occurs in lower eyelids, and its causative factors 1 include vertical eyelid laxity with attenuation or disinsertion of the lower eyelid retractor, [2][3][4][5] horizontal eyelid laxity, including the lower tarsus, and medial and lateral canthal tendons, 3 and overriding of the preseptal orbicularis oculi muscle. 6 Jones et al 4 suggested that the origin of involutional entropion was laxity in the lower eyelid retractor, and reported a surgical method focusing on the lower eyelid retractor (the Jones procedure).…”

“…4,7,8 Jpn Abstract Purpose: To disclose pre-and postoperative lower eyelid gradients in involutional entropion using sagittal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods: Three female patients, average age 82 (two right eyes and one left), were operated on for involutional entropion by the Jones procedure. Before and after the surgery, the lower eyelid gradient was evaluated by MRI and photography.…”
