title: [Surgical results using the Friedenwald-Guyton method for congenital ptosis in children].
abstract: The studies comprised 96 children with congenital ptosis, aged 10 months to 12 years, operated on in the years 1987-1992. Cosmetic and functional results, as well as the complications of the surgery were evaluated. A stable widening of a interpalpebral fissure with uncovering of the pupil was achieved in 96.6% of cases. The author concluded that the Friedenwald-Guyton's method is especially recommended in children with levator muscle dysfunction. The method is highly efficient, technically easy, causes little surgical trauma and rare complications.
