TI  - Upper eyelid retraction after glaucoma filtering surgery and topical application 
      of mitomycin C.
PG  - 144-9
AB  - PURPOSE: To describe 3 cases of upper eyelid retraction after glaucoma filtering 
      surgery and topical application of mitomycin C and to highlight possible causes. 
      METHODS: A report of 3 patients, identified over an 8-year interval period, who 
      had development of upper eyelid retraction a few months after undergoing 
      trabeculectomy with mitomycin C in the ipsilateral eye. RESULTS: Testing for 
      Graves disease, including second-generation thyrotropin receptor antibodies 
      (TRAb), was negative in all cases. A complete physical examination was performed 
      by an internist: Orbital and intracranial neuroimaging studies were ordered when 
      necessary, and all were negative. One patient underwent surgical repair of the 
      eyelid retraction and had a satisfactory result. CONCLUSIONS: Upper eyelid 
      retraction after filtering surgery is a rarely reported entity. Muller muscle 
      overaction, independent of Graves disease, is a likely cause and has been pointed 
      out as a possible factor in one previous report. Muller muscle fibrosis, 
      euthyroid Graves disease, and mechanical hindrance to an elevated bleb are other 
      possible factors.
