DOI: 10.37039/1982.8551.20260074
ABSTRACT
To report a case of Dubowitz syndrome with eyelid ptosis in the right eye, successfully treated with surgical correction. A 9-year-old child, previously diagnosed with Dubowitz syndrome, presented with congenital ptosis in the right eye. Surgical correction of eyelid ptosis was performed. The postoperative outcome showed significant functional and aesthetic improvement, with satisfactory eyelid position and absence of complications. Dubowitz syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by multiple congenital anomalies, including ophthalmologic manifestations such as eyelid ptosis. Surgical correction may provide excellent functional and cosmetic results in selected cases.
