CHILD EYELID MISCARRIAGE TREATMENTS APPLIED
Turkey Medicals member Assoc. Dr. gave information about eyelid miscarriage and treatment in children. Associate Professor of eye diseases in Antalya Turkey provides information about eyelid problems that develop due to birth or age. Dr. noted that these problems seriously jeopardize the functions of children eyes.
Eyelid miscarriage can be seen at birth or later in life. The most common causes of eyelid miscarriage are age-related weakness in the muscles that lift the eyelid, injuries to the eye area, past eye operations, muscle diseases such as myocondrial myopathy, and insufficient development of congenital eyelid novelties.

ONE IN EVERY 10 THOUSAND CHILDREN BIRTHS
Congenital eyelid miscarriage occurs when the muscle, called the “levator palpebralis”, which lifts the eyelids up, is not sufficiently developed. Every 10 thousand births, this condition can occur in a baby. Congenital eyelid miscarriages are not just an aesthetic condition. If the upper eyelid is low enough to close the pupil, it can lead to vision loss in the future, as there is a risk of laziness in that eye. Therefore, the miscarriage needs to be corrected urgently. If the eyelid that does not close the pupil is low, if the miscarriage is unilateral, the lid miscarriage can be monitored for some time by closing the intact eye. The underlying causes of bilateral congenital eyelid miscarriages should be investigated. In such cases, general muscle diseases can lead to Valve miscarriage, so the ophthalmologist and pediatrician should work together.

WHAT TREATMENTS ARE APPLIED?
The treatment of eyelid miscarriage is surgery. In the selection of surgical treatment, the diagnostic methods that will be applied during the examination are extremely important. For this reason, experience in surgical treatment is extremely important. Among the diagnostic methods, the most important is the determination of how much the muscle that lifts the eyelid works. If this muscle works well, the results after surgery are much better Nov. Basically, there are two methods of treating eyelid miscarriage. Method one; if the muscle that lifts the eyelid is working enough, it is levator surgery, in which this muscle is strengthened and novelized. If the muscle that lifts the eyelid does not work, the frontal case on our forehead is hung from the inside by a method that we call the frontal hanger of the eyelid Nov. Materials such as autogenous fascia lata or silicone taken from the leg can be used in the hanging method. In children, both methods should be performed under general anesthesia. The most important thing that patients should know is that it may be necessary to adjust again after surgery when the valve is low. A difference of less than 1 mm between both caps is considered a success criterion. Sutures after surgery are 1.a week are taken. If molten stitches are used in young children, there is no need to remove stitches.

IT CAN CREATE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE CHILD CORNEA
One of the most important things in the treatment of eyelid miscarriage is the adjustment of eyelid height. If the cap height is adjusted more or less, the desired result cannot be obtained. Adjustment can be made again for insufficient or excessive corrections. Especially in frontal hanger surgery, the eyelid is not flexible enough for excessive Corrections and closing problems may occur. Because of the eyelids that do not close well, our transparent layer can have very serious results in the cornea. But in the treatment of eyelid miscarriage in infants and young children, there may be minor differences after surgery, since the height of the lid is adjusted under general anesthesia. It should be noted that the main purpose of surgery at this age is not aesthetics, but prevention of child lazy eye.

WHAT TYPE OF EYELID PROBLEMS CAN BE OBSERVED IN CHILDREN?
The inside of the eyelid, which may be innate problems between the eyelid (entropium) or turning out (ektropium), depending on the nerve paralysis, the eye can not close the door completely (lagoftalmi), tears watering in his eyes always because it is not fully developed pathways, various syndromes and anomalies, depending on the upper or lower eyelid does not develop all or part of (kolobom facilities. For example Turkey eye blepharophimosis surgery; although it is a rare disease in which miscarriage of the eyelid, width of the nasal Root and different valve abnormalities are observed, miscarriage of the lid should be treated at an early age, since it usually closes the child pupil.
In infants, turning the eyelids inward is a rare disease, but with the turning of the lid inside, the eyelashes can lead to serious vision problems, valuing the transparent layer we call the cornea. In diagnosis, it should first be determined whether the return of the lid inside is permanent or a condition that can pass as age progresses. In cases called epiblepharone, where only part of the lower eyelid returns inside, there is no need for emergency treatment, and if there is no corneal injury, it can be expected because the disease passes spontaneously with the development of the eyelid. If the lower eyelid, which we call Entropium, is permanently turned inside, treatment should be done urgently, because a puncture in the eye can occur when the eyelashes constantly rub against the child cornea surgery in Antalya Turkey.
The inability to fully close the eyelids due to nerve paralysis is expressed as lagophthalmia. Due to nerve palsy, the eyelids remain open, especially during sleep, redness in the eye, burning stinging and looseness in the lower eyelid develop. After investigating the causes of nerve paralysis, Turkey blepharoplasty treatment should be switched. Artificial tear drops and antibiotic drops should be given in medical treatment. If there is no improvement in the case of paralysis, the closure of the eyelids can damage the cornea, so that the eyelids can be closed, gold plaques of various weights are placed on the upper eyelid to close the lid. The loose lower eyelid is also designed to tighten and bring the upper and lower child eyelids closer together.
