Using Multidetector Row Computed Tomography to Evaluate Baggy Eyelid

Abstract

The use of MDCT provides insight into the detailed changes associated with aging that take place within the lower eyelids. This study objectively demonstrated that the major factors associated with baggy eyelids include orbicularis oculi muscle thickness, orbital fat prolapse length, and age. Decreased orbicularis oculi muscle thickness leads to the orbital fat prolapse.
