Abstract:
Brow ptosis, whether unilateral or bilateral, is a cause of cosmetic disfiguration which has got different aetiologies and is treated with various methods. Unilateral paralytic brow ptosis may pose special problem apart from cosmetic reasons, i.e. difficulty in vision on the affected side due to severe degree of pseudoptosis of the lid, resulting in obscuring or affecting binocular vision. In such cases, patient has to lift the brow manually to have binocular vision. We had the opportunity to treat one such case with a direct browlift surgery. This case is being reported here to raise awareness regarding this field.
