Abstract

Lacrimal Gland Prolapse is an important diagnosis to exclude in patients presenting with lateral upper eyelid fullness. Prolapse of the lacrimal gland is the descend of the lacrimal gland into the anterior orbit. It could be responsible for blepharoptosis and unattractive appearance. This is a case report of a young patient with lacrimal gland prolapse who has been treated by repositioning with suture in an outpatient surgical setting.
