AIM: To study the clinic effects of improved frontal muscle flap suspension in children with congenital ptosis.

METHODS: The clinical data of 36 children patients with congenital ptosis who underwent improved frontal muscle flap suspension at the Department of Ophthalmology of Shenzhen Children's Hospital from January 2010 to October 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.

RESULTS:After one-year follow-up, all patients with congenital ptosis were totally cured and they acquired satisfactory long-term effects, except one suffered trichiasis.

CONCLUSION: Improved frontal muscle flap suspension is an effective therapy to congenital ptosis, which can not only simplify the operation, but also prevent the complication of the surgery.
