The authors briefly describe the commonest forms of mitochondrial myopathies particularly those associated with disorders of ocular motility. They report their series of four patients suffering from ptosis of the eyelid caused by mitochondrial myopathies. The ptosis was corrected surgically in all cases by means of Müller's muscle adaptation technique. The authors discuss their results and the indication for this technique.

Abstract
The authors briefly describe the commonest forms of mitochondrial myopathies particularly those associated with disorders of ocular motility. They report their series of four patients suffering from ptosis of the eyelid caused by mitochondrial myopathies. The ptosis was corrected surgically in all cases by means of Müller's muscle adaptation technique. The authors discuss their results and the indication for this technique.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
