Eyelid reconstruction in pachydermoperiostosis.
Our experience with an unusual case of pachydermoperiostosis is described. This case was accompanied by enlargement of the eyelids, excessive secretions, and difficulty in opening the eyes. Partial and serial excisions of the upper and lower eyelids were done to correct the thickened eyelids. As a result of the operations, this patient can open his eyes fully and the secretions have decreased.
