ABSTRACT
Bell's phenomenon evaluation is an important part of preoperative patient assessment for eyelid surgeries. Inverse Bell's phenomenon is a rare manifestation, usually observed in the early postoperative period following ptosis restoration surgeries, in pathological conditions, and in a small proportion of normal population. In the current case report, a 6-year-old girl presented with late-onset posttraumatic inverse Bell's phenomenon, 6 months after facial trauma with posttraumatic lagophthalmos. Rehabilitative blepharoplasty for the correction of lagophthalmos led to the restoration of inverse Bell's phenomenon 3 months postoperatively. Potential causative mechanisms are discussed for this late-onset manifestation of inverse Bell's response.
