Disease relevance of Entropion

We report on 3 brothers with growth and mental retardation, bifrontal narrowness, short palpebral fissures, deeply set eyes with entropion, wide bulbous nose, small mouth, myopia, and spastic diplegia [1].
Iopidine allergy causing lower eyelid ectropion progressing to cicatricial entropion [2].
CONCLUSION: Congenital lower eyelid entropion should be included in the differential diagnosis of congenital corneal opacities [3].
First used and approved over a decade ago for the treatment of strabismus (or misaligned eyes), botulinum toxin (BTX) has demonstrated efficacy in blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm, spastic lower eyelid entropion, and a number of other disorders seen in the traditional medical environment that are characterized by abnormal muscle contraction [4].

High impact information on Entropion

Primary congenital upper eyelid entropion in association with Duane's retraction syndrome [5].
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Patients' symptoms and clinical examination to confirm a normal eyelid position (no entropion or secondary ectropion) at rest and with forced orbicularis contraction with the topical amethocaine (tetracaine) test [6].
Two brothers with trichiasis, entropion and corneal scarring, sensorineural hearing loss, progressive thinning of scalp hair, mild learning difficulties and distinct facial features. A new syndrome [7]?
Cicatricial entropion associated with chronic dipivefrin application [8].
A central dystonia causes spastic lower eyelid entropion: a hypothesis [9].

Gene context of Entropion

Rapid spasm relief, correction of strabismus and entropion were obtained [10].
