Disease relevance of Ectropion

 

High impact information on Ectropion

  • PURPOSE: To report a rare case of ocular anterior segment anomalies including uveal ectropion of the iris, invasion of the conjunctival epithelia into the cornea, and posterior embryotoxon with a missense mutation of the PAX6 gene [6].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Severe corneal damage can occur in LI even if there is no upper or lower eyelid ectropion [7].
  • Cicatricial ectropion: a complication of systemic fluorouracil [8].
  • Reversible ectropion after long-term use of topical tretinoin on photodamaged skin [9].
  • The vaginal and cervical cellular changes encountered in 575 postpubertal females exposed prenatally to diethylstilbestrol (DES) were compared with those of an unexposed population with particular reference to the role of cytology in the detection of vaginal adenosis and cervical ectropion (erosion) [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Ectropion

  • Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser blepharoplasty with orbicularis oculi muscle tightening and periorbital skin resurfacing is a safe procedure that produces excellent aesthetic results and diminishes the occurrence of complications associated with skin and muscle resection in the lower lid, particularly permanent scleral show and ectropion [11].
  • Reversible lower eyelid ectropion associated with dipivefrin [12].
  • The "Diamond Head" graft for paralytic ectropion of the lower eyelid [13].
  • METHODS: Study of the possibility of performing surgery to repair medial ectropion using biodegradable polyglyconate Tag anchors was commenced in the sheep cadaveric head model, and in the whole dry human skull model [14].
  • RESULTS: Relief of cicatricial ectropion symptoms was reported in 90% of patients overall [15].
 

Anatomical context of Ectropion

  • The literature suggests that posterior polymorphous dystrophy (PPD) may show features such as iridocorneal adhesions, glassy membranes, and pupillary ectropion which are typically ascribed to the iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome [16].
 

Gene context of Ectropion

  • We described a patient with ectropion and the mutation R1748X in the NF1 gene [17].
  • Our preliminary findings showed a reduction of CD4, CD8 and CD1 lymphocytic subpopulations in ectropion zones, while these subpopulations are normally present in healthy zones of the exocervix [18].
  • RESULTS: Minor flap necrosis occurred in one patient and simple lower eyelid ectropion in another [19].
  • What's your diagnosis? Congenital iris ectropion syndrome associated with glaucoma [20].
