Mechanical Blepharoptosis and Eyelid Swelling Caused by Silicone Oil
Journal of Optometry, 2009Co-Authors: Thabit A. Mustafa, Khalid M. Al-zuoby, Ali M. AlawnehAbstract:The purpose of this article is to report a case of upper eyelid Mechanical ptosis caused by silicone oil migration in a Jordanian patient after pars plana vitrectomy and intraocular silicone oil injection. A 20-year-old male patient was referred to the oculoplastic clinic for the management of a left upper eyelid swelling and complete ptosis that developed 12 years after pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil placement for retinal detachment secondary to perforating eye injury. Eye examination showed upper eyelid swelling and a complete ptosis induced by the weight of inflammatory tissue and silicone oil, as proved by histopathologic examination. We presumed that silicone oil had leaked through the pars plana vitrectomy ports or through a subtle traumatic perforation of the posterior segment, which might have been aggravated by increased intra-ocular pressure postoperatively. In conclusion, Mechanical ptosis caused by silicone oil migration after retinal detachment surgery is rare and this is one of the few reports in the literature.

Ptosis in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
American journal of ophthalmology, 1998Co-Authors: Stephen R. Klapper, David R. Jordan, Conrad R. Pelletier, Seymour Brownstein, Karim PunjaAbstract:Abstract PURPOSE: To report a case of chronic, progressive unilateral Blepharoptosis in a 73-year-old woman with Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia. METHOD: Case report. A biopsy was performed on a thickened and indurated tarsal plate that we believed had resulted in Mechanical Blepharoptosis. RESULTS: Histologic and immunohistochemistry studies of the biopsy specimen demonstrated a lymphoplasmacytoid cell infiltrate with monoclonal antibodies consistent with Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia. CONCLUSION: Involvement of the tarsal conjunctiva and tarsus in Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia is a newly recognized cause of eyelid thickening and ptosis.
