ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This retrospective cohort study aimed to identify obstetric risk factors for simple congenital ptosis and propose an underlying pathophysiological mechanism.METHODS:
Newborns diagnosed with simple congenital ptosis (n = 51) were compared with existing population data in terms of obstetric parameters.RESULTS:
Positive associations were found between simple congenital ptosis and gestational diabetes mellitus (11.8% vs. 5%, p = 0.026), preterm delivery (15.7% vs. 0.05%, p < 0.001), and lower birth weight (2,998 ± 506 vs. 3,255 ± 484, p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
This study pioneers an association between simple congenital ptosis and gestational diabetes mellitus, potentially linked to insulin-like growth factor 1 levels. We advocate for early ophthalmology checkups for specific newborn subsets.
