this study reports the incidence of levator muscle dysgenesis among patients with simple congenital myogenic ptosis. In addition, the study aims to describ the nature of the dysgenesis, including the gross appearance of the muscle intraoperatively as well as the histopathological features under the microscope, correlation between the degree of dysgenesis and the preoperative ptosis assessment, and evaluation of the surgical outcome after levator muscle resection. Also, this research aims to shed light on the role of aponeurotic developmental anomalies, specifically fibrotic changes and maldevelopment in the pathogenesis of simple congenital ptosis.
