Upper eyelid thickness was measured to determine whether there is a difference in the thickness of the upper eyelids in children with and without epicanthus.
Children were enrolled into the epicanthus group or non-epicanthus (control) group. The children with epicanthus were classified into four subgroups according to the Duke-Elder's classification. The thickness of the upper eyelid was measured at five points with A-scan ultrasonography.
There was no significant difference in upper eyelid thickness between the epicanthus group and control group (P > 0.05) or between the subgroups of the epicanthus group (P > 0.05).
This result suggests that the etiology of epicanthus may not be hypertrophy of soft tissue.
测量上睑厚度，以确定有内眦赘皮和无内眦赘皮的儿童上睑厚度是否存在差异。
将儿童纳入内眦赘皮组或非内眦赘皮（对照组）。根据Duke-Elder分类法，将有内眦赘皮的儿童分为四个亚组。采用A超超声检查在五个点测量上睑厚度。
内眦赘皮组与对照组之间的上睑厚度无显著差异（P>0.05），内眦赘皮组各亚组之间也无显著差异（P>0.05）。
该结果表明，内眦赘皮的病因可能不是软组织肥大。
