An 11-year-old girl with left upper lid neuroftbromatosis underwent debulking surgery in two stages. An acceptable cosmetic appearance it-as achieved. A young girl with left upper lid neurofibroma was operated upon 30-10-96. Approximately lateral one third of the lid was excised. The skin over the lateral canthal region was undermined to expose lateral canthal raphe. The lateral part of the remaining tarsal plate was approximated to the lateral canthal raphe by 3 non absorbable 4/0 nylon sutures. The levator muscle shortening was done through the skin approach. 18 mm of the muscle was excised along with excessive neurofibromatous tissue. The surgical procedure was hallmarked by excessive hemorrhage controlled by wet-field cautery.
