METHOD FOR SETTING DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS AND SELECTING SURGICAL METHOD FOR TREATING THE CASES OF BLEPHAROPTOSIS

摘要

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves estimating functional state of eye muscles and levator labii superioris muscles. Five daily sessions of trigeminal nerve stimulation are carried out using blinking reflex and infrared laser stimulation system in the area of lower one third of precentral brain cortex gyrus projection on both sides. No lid position difference being detected, blepharoptosis with functional inconsistency of levator labii superioris is to be diagnosed. Then, levator labii superioris resection is carried out. Lid positions difference being detected, functional consistency of levator labii superioris is to be diagnosed. Upper lid cartilage resection is carried out. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in selecting appropriate surgical intervention type; reduced risk of traumatic complications. 3 cl
