Abstract
Ten cases of paralytic medial ectropion associated with 7th nerve palsy were treated with a new procedure involving shortening of the medial canthal structures and division of the inferior canaliculus with subsequent marsupialisation. The success of this operation is supported by anatomical and functional studies.Keywords
