Congenital Ptosis – Reconstructive Surgery by Occipitofrontalis Muscle Transfer
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
ANATOMY OCCIPITOFRONTALIS MUSCLE Occipitofrontalis covers the dome of the skull from the highest nuchal lines of the eyebrows. It is a broad, musculofibrous layer and consists of four thin, muscular quadrilateral parts, two occipital and two frontal, connected by the epicranial aponeurosis. Each occipital part (occipitalis) arises by tendinous fibres from the lateral twothirds of the highest nuchal line of the occipital bone and the adjacent region of the mastoid part of the temporal bone, and extends forward to join the aponeurosis. The gap between the occipital parts is occupied by an extension of the epicranial aponeurosis. Each frontal part (frontalis) is adherent to the superficial fascia, particularly of the eyebrows. Although frontalois has no bony attachments of its own, its fibres blend with those of adjacent muscles-procerus, corrugators supercilii and orbicularis oculi- and ascend to join the epicranial aponeurosis in front of the coronal suture.
