title: [Floppy eyelid syndrome: light and electron microscopy studies].
abstract: A 60-year-old patient with "Floppy Eyelid" syndrome was treated by wedge-shaped lid resection. The excised tissue was studied by light and electron microscopy. Apart from the signs of chronic inflammation already described no abnormality was found in the ultrastructure or distribution of the collagen and elastic fibers of the tarsus.
