Blepharophimosis is a congenital malformation involving the orbital region. It is associated with ptosis of the upper eyelids, epicanthal folds, telecanthus, and flattened and widened nasal bridge. We have surgically treated five cases of blepharophimosis by a procedure in which nasal bone graft, medial canthoplasty, and fascial suspension are performed in one stage. There is not any kind of operation for repair of the flattened and widened bridge of the nose in the literature. We have treated this anomaly using bone grafts. The follow-up period was 1 to 2 years, and good results have been obtained. A flattened and widened nasal bridge should be repaired by using bone grafts in addition to medial canthoplasty and fascial suspension in blepharophimosis.
