Case 33 by Dr. Ngo Chek Tung & Professor Chua Chung Nen
A 54 year-old woman with type I neurofibromatosis presented with a 3-year history of progressive left ptosis. She had no previous surgery or another history of note.
On examination, she had a left complete ptosis with poor levator function. The eyelid (Figure 1 and 2) contained a rubbery mass that appeared to involve most of the upper tarsal plate with extension into the levator. Her vision measured 6/12 in the right eye and 6/18 in the left eye. Both vision could be improved to 6/9 with pinholes. The anterior segments revealed some Lisch's nodules in the iris. The posterior segment in both eyes were unremarkable.
