AIM
To observe the incidence of full or partial eyelid closure at death.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The presence of ptosis was recorded in 100 consecutive hospice patient deaths.
RESULTS
Majority (63%) of the patients died with their eyes fully closed, however, 37% had bilateral ptosis at death, with incomplete eye closure. In this study, central nervous system tumor involvement and/or acute hepatic encephalopathy appeared to be pre-mortem risk factors of bilateral ptosis at death.
CONCLUSION
Organicity and not psychogenicity is, therefore, the likely etiology of failure of full eyelid closure at death.
目的
观察死亡时眼睑完全或部分闭合的发生率。
材料与方法
连续记录100例临终关怀患者死亡时上睑下垂的情况。
结果
大多数（63%）患者死亡时眼睛完全闭合，然而，37%的患者死亡时双侧上睑下垂，眼睛闭合不全。在本研究中，中枢神经系统肿瘤累及和/或急性肝性脑病似乎是死亡时双侧上睑下垂的生前危险因素。
结论
因此，器质性而非精神性因素可能是死亡时眼睑未能完全闭合的病因。
