Surgical Treatment of Eyelid Neurofibromas

A case of eyelid neuroma with recurrent ptosis

“…While outcomes data on management of eyelid neuromas are limited, treatment options classically include surgical excision, steroid injection, or serial observation if the tumor is small and asymptomatic. 1 , 24 , 25 In this case, the patient presented with ptosis and persistent ocular irritation, thought to be secondary to the neuroma causing mechanical irritation on the cornea. This presentation led to more extensive management with excision of the lesion with simultaneous internal ptosis repair.…”

Surgical management of patients with corneal lesions due to lid pathologies

“…The surgery entails a complete tissue triangular excision at the lateral canthus, followed by the reattachment of the tarsal plate to the lateral canthal tendon, contingent upon eyelid flexibility[ 8 ]. In 1977, Tenzel et al [ 9 ] introduced a lateral canthal tendon sling for the treatment of involutional ectropion, which was subsequently refined by Anderson into the "tarsal strip" method. Both the tarsal strip and the Bick's treatments laterally shorten the eyelid; however, Bick's technique circumvents the lateral canthal tendon and does not conceal the tarsal plate[ 10 ].…”

The Overlooked Floppy Eyelid Syndrome: From Diagnosis to Medical and Surgical Management

“…The surgeon then excises a strip of the tarsal plate to the desired length, ensuring sufficient tension to correct the eyelid laxity. The remaining tarsal plate is then reattached to the periosteum of the lateral orbital rim or the lateral canthal tendon using non-absorbable sutures [ 102 ]. This repositioning restores the eyelid’s normal tension and contour, reducing symptoms and preventing further eversion.…”
