title: [Unilateral eyebrow suspension in severe unilateral congenital ptosis].
abstract: The result of unilateral brow suspension in severe unilateral ptosis is said to be cosmetically and functionally not satisfactory. For the reason of symmetry, the myectomy of the levator muscle on the healthy side and the bilateral brow suspension have been recommended (Beard's law). However, we have successfully operated the affected side only in several patients without this far-reaching supplement.
