METHODS: In this interventional case series, 16 eyelids of 5 patients with congenital distichiasis underwent posterior lamella resection and AMT. RESULTS: All patients were male subjects with mean age of 13.6<span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span>±</span></span>15.2 (range 2-42) years. Mean follow up was 17<span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span>±</span></span>7.5 (range 6-29) months. Distichiasis did not recur in 11 eyelids (68.7%). Misdirected eyelashes recurred in 3 eyelids (18.8%) outside the AMT area and in 2 eyelids (12.5%) within the AMT area which were successfully treated by gentle laser epilation. Postoperatively, symptoms of dry eye were controlled by medical treatment in all patients. Eyelid contour was not significantly altered in any patient. CONCLUSION: AMT seems to be an acceptable alternative for surgical management of congenital distichiasis yielding acceptable eyelid contour with low rate of complications.</p> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:PunctuationKerning /> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas /> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables /> <w:SnapToGridInCell /> <w:WrapTextWithPunct /> <w:UseAsianBreakRules /> <w:DontGrowAutofit /> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Palatino; mso-font-alt:"Book Antiqua"; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:7 0 0 0 147 0;} @font-face {font-family:Nazanin; mso-font-charset:178; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:24577 0 0 0 64 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:Nazanin;} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt; mso-header-margin:36.0pt; mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> <!--[if gte mso 10]> <style>
