Prolapse of conjunctiva following external levator resection.

Prolapse of the conjunctiva from the superior cul-de-sac is an infrequent complication following external levator resection. In uncooperative patients or children, repositioning of the prolapsed fold of tissue may be difficult and result in a fused conjunctival fold. This complication occurred in 4 of 102 children of the authors' series; its management is outlined.
