چکیده
Purpose: To report the characteristics of lacrimal gland prolapse among the patients who underwent upper blepharoplasty. Methods: In a retrospective study, consecutive upper blepharoplasty patients with significant lacrimal gland prolapse were included. The degree of prolapse was measured as anterior protrusion of lacrimal gland from theorbital rim. Reposition of the lacrimal gland was performed by using non-absorbable sutures to fixate the gland to the periosteum of lacrimal fossa. In cases with unusually large lacrimal glands, incisional biopsy of the gland was obtained. The orbital septum was left unsutured. Results: Twenty patients (19 females and one male) out of a total of 198 patients who underwent upper blepharoplasty (10.1%) had clinically significant lacrimal gland prolapse. Mean age was 54.8±9.4 years (range, 31-69). Fourteen patients (70%) were asymptomatic. Anterior protrusion of lacrimal gland was measured to be 6.4±1.2 mm (range, 5-10 mm) from the orbital rim. Incisional biopsy of the lacrimal gland was obtained in ten patients (50%). Nine biopsies showed mild chronic inflammation and one revealed only normal lacrimal gland tissue. Postoperative course was uncomplicated in 15 patients (75%), with mild symptoms in the others and only one instance of mild unilateral recurrence of lacrimal gland prolapse. Conclusion: Reposition of a prolapsed lacrimal gland is a safe and effective adjunctive procedure in upper blepharoplasty, with minimal complications and acceptable post-operative outcome. Prolapsed lacrimal glands showed mild inflammation which could be due to repetitious movements of a lax gland, although various other etiologies can be involved.کلیدواژه ها
