摘要
Spastic entropion is a rare condition that predominantly affects older people. We report on a 74-year-old dementia patient who was successfully treated by botulinum toxin injections into the lower eyelid, thereby avoiding lid correction surgery. For patients with an increased risk of eyelid surgery, symptomatic therapy comprising botulinum toxin injections to the lower eyelid should be considered as an alternative treatment.
