Acquired ptosis is a common ophthalmologic problem. It is in the large majority of cases aponeurotic and occurs in the elderly as an involutional disorder or after ophthalmic surgery. In younger patients, it may occur after ocular trauma, periocular infection, contact lens wear, or palpebral edema. Allergic blepharoconjunctivitis is an unsuspected cause of acquired ptosis. Our study investigated patients (5 to 15 years old) with a history of allergic blepharoconjunctivitis and having a unilateral or bilateral ptosis. Physiopathological hypotheses are discussed. Management of acquired ptosis is presented.
