Silicone Frontal Suspension Surgery in a 3-month-old Infant with Unilateral Congenital Ptosis: Case Report

Abstract

This case report discusses the outcomes of a silicone frontalis sling surgery performed on a 3-month-old female infant diagnosed with congenital ptosis of the left eye. Congenital ptosis, characterized by drooping of the upper eyelid present at birth, can lead to amblyopia, strabismus, and other visual impairments if not treated promptly. In cases where levator function is inadequate, frontalis suspension surgery is considered the gold standard treatment for congenital ptosis. This case presents a patient who underwent early intervention with a silicone frontalis sling technique.
