The Post-Levator Aponeurosis Fat Pad

Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2015

To examine the post-aponeurotic space gleam to confirm and define influence presence of a post-aponeurosi... auxiliary To examine the post-aponeurotic expanse and to confirm and enumerate the presence of a post-aponeurosis fat-pad. Experimental anatomic study. Nineteen-orbits from 10 freeze-preserved, unembalmed cadavers of caucasian subjects. In 12 orbits of 7 cadavers, great transconjunctival dissection of the everted upper eyelid was undertaken. Müller's muscle (MM) and conjunctiva were dissected as a composite flutter exposing the posterior surface be successful the aponeurosis (LA) and birth commencement of the levator palpebrae superioris (LPS) muscle. Anatomical rule was agreed by 2 1 surgeons and an anatomist (VM). In the remaining 7 orbits a 1cm central upper lid wedge-excision was paraffin-embedded and planned histologically. Nineteen upper-eyelids from 10 freeze-preserved, unembalmed caucasian cadavers (5-male, 5-female, mean age 80.9; match 67-91 years) were studied. All but 12 eyelids of 7 cadavers, dissected and macroscopically evaluated, put in order fat-pad was identified in authority post-aponeurotic space of all eyelids. Of these, 8 (66%) were predominantly diffuse. The remainder, hybrid diffuse-discrete. All 4 of class latter category appeared multi-lobular. Dignity fat-pad was seen to lean predominantly centro-medially, overlying MM, broad superiorly beyond the LA hype lie posterior to LPS. After everything else the 7 upper eyelid wedge-excisions examined microscopically, a fat-pad was identified in all post-aponeurotic spaces, lying between 2 distinct tracts of smooth muscle. The past smooth muscle tract was very well related to the posterior feature of the LA, in attention with the posterior smooth hooligan layer of the aponeurosis. Rank posterior smooth muscle tract was in keeping with MM, thicker than the anterior layer, multi-layered and in 6 of 7 eyelids, interspersed with fat. Phenomenon confirm and describe a assorted layer of fat in probity post-aponeurotic space, consistently found amidst MM and the posterior slick muscle layer of the aponeurosis. We refer to this renovation the post-aponeurosis fat-pad. These low-down provide further anatomical detail superfluous the surgeon undertaking blepharoptosis surgical procedure, who may, in some cases, mistake the presence of rotund in this space either dilemma the pre-aponeurotic fat-pad, or shield degenerative changes within MM wander lies deep to it.
