Abstract
Ptosis, a common congenital or acquired disease, is an upper palpebral droop secondary to impaired action of the levator muscle of the upper eyelid. In its severe form, he is very unresponsive or inactive. Severe traumatic ptosis is most often the result of neurogenic, myogenic or scarring lesions. The treatment of severe ptosis is essentially surgical, with a variety of techniques giving acceptable results. Frontal suspension is the therapeutic method of choice, performed according to the Fox or Crawford procedure. But it requires an active homolateral forehead muscle, capable of raising the decient eyelid; criteria that could be missing. So what would be our alternative? In our study, we report a case of severe traumatic ptosis in a young patient, associated with a palsy of the homolateral frontal muscle, treated by contralateral frontal suspension using autologous material
