INTRODUCTION: : The treatment of choice for medium to severe blepharoptosis is frontalis suspension. The aim of this study is to describe a new modified surgical technique of frontalis suspension for congenital ptosis using an autogenous tendon.PATIENTS AND METHODS: : Frontalis sling with double par

Notch signaling is pivotal for the morphogenesis and homeostasis of many tissues. We found that aberrant Notch activation in mouse neural-crest-derived periocular mesenchymal cells (POMCs), which contribute to the formation of corneal and eyelid stroma, results in blepharophimosis.
