Inverting Sutures With Systemic Retinoids and Lubrication Can Correct Ectropion in Ichthyosis.
[lamellar ichthyosis]
The
authors
present
2
children
,
a
girl
aged
9
and
a
boy
aged
15
years
,
both
with
lower
eyelid
ectropion
due
to
congenital
lamellar
ichthyosis
.
They
had
the
same
treatment
protocol
,
insertion
of
inverting
sutures
in
addition
to
a
systemic
retinoid
drug
and
a
lubrication
of
the
eyelids
.
The
girl
had
2
separate
procedures
of
inverting
sutures
,
while
the
eyelids
of
the
boy
were
corrected
with
1
procedure
.
Both
tolerate
their
systemic
retinoid
treatment
nicely
.
Five
years
later
,
the
lower
eyelids
are
in
an
excellent
position
without
any
further
surgical
intervention
.
The
patients
are
comfortable
.
The
conventional
method
to
treat
these
conditions
is
skin
grafts
.
The
authors
offer
another
treatment
option
in
this
very
bothersome
condition
.
