Síndrome de Ascher. Clinica y tratamiento a propósito de un caso clínico

Abstract

We present a case report of patient with Ascher Syndrome. It is a rare entity, benig, with few cases related in the world.Clinically Ascher Syndrome it is an anomaly wich may be either congenital or acquired, composed by three fillings: blepharochalasis, double lip (upper lip is involved more often than the lower, although on occasion both may be involved), and nontoxicthyroid goiter).Apart from a deformity that interferes whit mastication and speech, surgical treatment may be indicated for cosmetic reasons.

A Century of Laffer-Ascher Syndrome

“…Characteristic changes of lips and eyelids are often the cause of social embarrassment. 3 15 33 34 Nonsurgical treatment modalities that have been tried include oral prednisolone, antihistaminic, and dapsone. Oral antihistaminic or prednisolone therapy is not useful in resolving lid edema.…”

“…Few case reports have assigned a diagnosis of Ascher syndrome in the absence of the clinical signs suggestive of blepharochalasis or anomalous lips. 3 Here, we describe the clinical presentation, surgical management, and histopathological aspects of an adult patient with blepharochalasis and double lips involving both lips, and review the literature to clear up the ambiguity.…”
