The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of press needle treatment for eyelid ptosis caused by traumatic epidural hemorrhage(EDH). A traumatic epidural hemorrhage(EDH) ptosis patient was treated with press needles. Marginal reflex distance(MRD), palpebral fissure width(PFW) and levator function was used to measure changes in ptosis during the treatment. After treatment, marginal reflex distance 1(MRD1), marginal reflex distance(MRD2) improved from 0 mm to 3 mm, from 0 mm to 6 mm. Therefore palpebral fissure width(PFW) showed remarkable improvement. Press needle treatment showed significant improvement to the oculomotor nerve palsy patient who was showing no signs of improvement for three months. This clinical trial showed that press needle treatment has meaningful effect on ptosis and more researches should be followed.
