title: Blepharoptosis due to Kearns-Sayre syndrome.
abstract: A 16-year-old patient suffering from Kearns-Sayre syndrome presented with severe blepharoptosis. A levator advancement procedure was performed. It seems that in conjunction with medical treatment, blepharoptosis surgery offers good and hopefully long lasting results to patients suffering from this rare syndrome.
