Blepharophimosis Syndrome

Blepharophimosis Syndrome

Blepharophimosis, ptosis, and epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) is a rare autosomal dominant disease of the eyelids and mid-face structures. There are two main types of BPES. Each type harbors the four classic clinical signs: blepharophimosis, ptosis, epicanthus inversus, and telecanthus. Type I is associated with premature ovarian failure. Type II is characterized by the classic facial features alone. These features are associated with a high incidence of amblyopia if not correctly managed. Both types require surgical treatment early in life for normal vision development. This activity outlines the presentation, evaluation, and treatment/management of BPES and highlights the role of genetic counselors, endocrinologists, and other healthcare providers involved in managing these patients’ conditions.
