[The entropion of the upper lid (author's transl)].
The non-cicatricial rolling-inwards of the upper lid is a rare disease. The horizontal tarsotomy by Hadija correct the entropion and eliminate the irritating trichiasis. It is not of less importance, to tauten the reduced elasticity of the fascia tarsoorbitalis. Therefore is necessary a skin resection and a separate suture of the lamina for additional strengthening and permanence of the lid eversion. The method of operation was successful in 12 from 15 cases.
