[Surgical treatment of the Marcus-Gunn syndrome. Indications and results. Apropos of 15 cases].
Fifteen cases of jaw-winking blepharoptosis treated, are reported, to suggest the management of the surgical methods. The degree of the ptosis, the eyelid retraction, the surgical procedures are reviewed. Patients with a wild retraction required a levator muscle resection. Patients with a moderate or severe retraction required an unilateral levator denervation with frontalis suspension. In this case, the most satisfactory surgical results were obtained with unilateral levator denervation on the affected side compared with a bilateral frontalis suspension with fresh autogenous fascia. Then, the surgical procedure seems to depend especially on the eyelid retraction.
