We examined a child with congenital ptosis. She underwent a bilateral silicone rod frontalis sling operation. One of the slings became infected and necessitated removal. We noticed no recurrence of her ptosis after sling removal. Removal of a frontalis sling does not invariably lead to recurrence of ptosis. We hypothesize that a scar tract formed in the plane of tissue from which the sling was removed. This band of scar tissue can act as a frontalis sling to elevate the eyelid.
我们检查了一名患有先天性上睑下垂的儿童。她接受了双侧硅胶棒额肌悬吊手术。其中一条悬吊带发生感染，需要取出。在取出悬吊带后，我们注意到她的上睑下垂没有复发。取出额肌悬吊带并不一定会导致上睑下垂复发。我们推测，在取出悬吊带的组织平面形成了一条瘢痕条索。这条瘢痕组织带可起到额肌悬吊带的作用来提升眼睑。
