Surgical Treatment of Synkinetic Eyelid Closure in Marin-amat Syndrome Complicated by Facial Palsy After COVID-19 Vaccination

This study is the first to demonstrate the successful treatment of the extremely rare Marin-Amat syndrome after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination through surgery. Selective myectomy and myotomy in situ in combination with levator plication proves to be highly effective and favorable in treating this condition as the surgery overtakes the limited effectiveness of and directly obviates the need for botulinum toxin injections, thereby improving patient satisfaction and quality of life.
