Causes :
Neurogenic causes: Problems in the nerve keeping up the eyelid,
Myogenic causes: Defects in the eyelid muscle (this muscle is less developed in patients who have congenital droppy eyelid),
Senile causes: Aging, eye surgeries,
Mechanical causes: Weighting factors on the lid. (For example; tumors on the lid, hematoma, etc.)
The treatment of this disease is surgery.
In children, if the droopy eyelid closes the pupil, the surgery should be processed immediately but if it is not, the surgery can be necessary before the child starts school.
