Abstract
A 94-year-old monocular woman with a posterior communicating artery aneurysm developed a compressive third nerve palsy with complete blepharoptosis and abduction of her seeing eye. It was believed that she was not a good neurosurgical candidate for aneurysm repair. Her ptosis was managed successfully with an in-office Whitnall sling procedure combined with a superior tarsectomy. The author describes this safe and effective method for surgical management of complete ptosis with zero levator function.
