"Ptosis" is the name for it- it comes from the latin for "falling". In newborns the causes are several: most commonly it is the result of a congenital local muscle weakness but it may rarely result from cranial nerve problems, or rarely form birth injury. In many newborns the situation improves markedly or completely resolves, so no treatment is usually necessary. Surgery can help if dry eyes or a tendency to twist the head in order to see better develop.

Congenital Ptosis:


Congenital ptosis is the common form of eyelid ptosis present since childbirth. It may involve one or both upper eyelids and vary in severity from mild to severe. This form of eyelid ptosis is often the result of lack of development of the levator muscle. Treatment is primarily surgical where the affected eyelid muscles are shortened / resected for eyelid elevation. The surgery may also use other methods to repair the ptosis, such as a technique called fascia suspension.
