Blepharochalasis
Skin of the upper eyelid which is manifestly hanging and
thickened.
The blepharochalasis also occurs
with familial cumulation.
Aetiologically it is caused by fluctuating and increased
fluid inclusions around the eye region.
Because
of this, there is a bulking and disaggregation of tissue
structures in the course of the years.
The skin
of the upper eyelid is thickened and the natural furrow
of the eyelid is reversed. Since the skin of the upper
eyelid overlaps the edge of the lid, the eyelashes are
steepened.
Typical
symptoms are: aesthetical problems, feelings of
heaviness around the eye region, restrictions of the
field of view and eczemas in this region.
Further
a distinctive blepharochalasis can lead to unexplained
headache.
A
blepharoplastic surgery of the upper eyelid is an
adequate therapeutic option.
