[Floppy eyelid syndrome. Apropos of 4 cases and review of the literature].

Often unrecognized, Floppy eyelid syndrome is an impairment of the eyelid statics with marked conjunctival signs. Over-weight middle aged men are principally concerned. Excessive eyelid laxity in the Floppy eyelid syndrome is responsible for a night ectropion of the upper lid, creating the clinical manifestations. We report four cases of Floppy eyelid syndrome to illustrate our work and discuss the clinical and therapeutic aspects.
