ABSTRACT
This prospective clinical study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of botulinum toxin for temporary treatment of senile and congenital lower lid entropion. Seventeen patients with senile entropion and three children with congenital entropion were treated with botulinum toxin injection into the preseptal orbicularis muscle of lower lid. This resulted in transient relieve of the condition, which lasted for a period of 8-26 weeks. This technique is easy and effective for senile entropion as well as certain cases of congenital entropion.
