Paralytic ectropion

Introduction to paralytic valgus Paralytic valgus is caused by facial nerve palsy, resulting in weakness of the orbicularis muscle, loose eyelids, loss of contraction of the orbicularis muscle, and falling due to the weight of the lower jaw.

Paralytic valgus valgus symptoms Common symptoms Photophobia and tearing corneal ulcers Eyes and eyelids are obvious...

The patient has symptoms such as photophobia, tearing, tingling, and eyelids. Check that the seesaw, especially the rim portion, curls in the direction of the eyeball. Trichiasis rubs the cornea, the corneal epithelium can fall off, and the fluorescein diffusely stains. Such as secondary infection, can develop into corneal ulcers.

Diagnosis of paralytic valgus valgus

It is easy to diagnose according to the patient's medical history and clinical manifestations.

The valgus valgus should be differentiated from the wind-induced sputum: both have eyelid valgus, but the wind is mostly limited to the lower jaw, and there is no scar; and the disease is caused by the sputum contraction. Upper and lower eyelids can occur.

The wind pulls out more due to the accumulation of heat in the stomach, and the liver wind is full, which causes the wind and damp heat to attack, caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. Because the chord is turned over, the eyelids cannot be closed, and the eye is often dry and sore, and even keratitis occurs. More often in the lower jaw.
