Ectropion (syn .: ectropion century) - an abnormal position of the century, in which the edge behind the eyeball, and the conjunctival surface facing outward century. There are scarry, spastic, paralytic and senile ectropion. By the formation of scar inversion cause burns , wounds, and others. Spastic inversion occurs due to reduction of the orbital part of the circular muscles of the eye inflammatory diseases of the conjunctiva and cornea, is more common in children. Paralytic inversion is observed only on the lower eyelid and is due to paralysis of the facial nerve. Senile ectropion - the result of age-related atrophy of the circular muscles of the eye.
