Floppy eyelid syndrome: review

A síndrome de frouxidão palpebral é caracterizada pela fácil eversão da pálpebra que ocorre espontaneamente durante o sono causando exposição dos olhos, com consequente conjuntivite papilar crônica. Sua patogênese ainda não está totalmente definida e é mais comum em pacientes masculinos, obesos, de meia idade e está associada a doenças sistêmicas como apnéia obstrutiva do sono, hipertensão arterial e diabetes. Quando o tratamento clínico não apresenta boa resposta, procedimentos cirúrgicos apresentam bons resultados, com técnicas em constante evolução.
