 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 Levator muscle on the transverse ligament suspension folding combined treatment of congenital ptosis [Keywords:] levator fold transverse ligament suspension of congenital ptosis Congenital ptosis is a common congenital eye disease, not only significantly affect the appearance, but also because of its early onset, severe pupillary block, cause great harm to the visual development, can form deprivation amblyopia. Ptosis correction surgery The fundamental purpose: the drooping of the upper eyelid lift, restoring normal palpebral fissure height, exposing pupils to expand the vision to restore eyelid function and visual function, correction of abnormal shape, so that looks to improve, it is necessary to expand our horizons, to prevent the incidence of amblyopia, but also achieve the objective of beauty. At present the surgical correction of ptosis in many ways, divided into three categories according to their principles: reduce or enhance the power of levator muscle surgery, such as levator shortening, to borrow the amount of surgical muscle strength, such as the frontal muscle flap suspension, to borrow another power operation, above the transverse ligament before the resettlement, sling, and so on. and meet the physical requirements of the ideal surgical procedure is to shorten or strengthen the levator muscle, but The levator meager, muscle weak effect of severe ptosis is often unsatisfactory. the last 3 years we have combined the use of folding levator transverse ligament suspension on the treatment of congenital ptosis in 13 eyes to good effect. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 Clinical data 9 cases of congenital ptosis in 13 eyes, 5 males and 4 females, aged 14 to 42 years old, 5 cases of unilateral, bilateral in 4 cases. Followed up for 3 to 24 months. Levator muscle strength in patients with 3mm The following nine, where forfeiture is only 2 full strength, 3mm above the 4. droop amount of grading, when the normal head-coveri
