Abstract:Objective To explore the value of repeated rehabilitation training and stimulation on ptosis following unilateral oculomotor nerve palsy due to skull base injury. Methods Seven patients with severe ptosis following unilateral oculomotor nerve palsy due to skull base injury were treated with repeated rehabilitation training and stimulation. The palpebral fissure height was measured to evaluate the degree of the ptosis before and 8 weeks after the treatment. Results The ptosis got improved in 6 cases (85.7%) and the palpebral fissure height was increased 5mm to 9 mm after rehabilitation treatment. Conclusion The repeated rehabilitation training as well as stimulation is valuable to improve ptosis following unilateral oculomotor nerve palsy caused by skull base injury.
