title: [Surgical management of congenital eyelid ptosis with silicone rod--outcome analysis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the outcomes of surgical management of congenital eyelid ptosis with the use of silicone rod.
  
  
  METHODS
  Congenital eyelid ptosis was diagnosed in 12 children aged 2-18 years: 6 cases with unilateral, and 6 with bilateral ptosis. Analyzing the patients we focused on the function of levator muscle before and after the surgery in particular. Ptosis repair was performed with the use of silicone rod in all children.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Functional and cosmetic outcomes of the procedure with the silicone rod were good.
