Figure 1 A: General view of a left upper eyelid with slight removal of the frontal bone. Note the WL disperses to the lacrimal gland. B: Line diagram of the eyelid in A. C: Anatomy of the trochleal site. Note the LPTL attaches to the anterior surface of the trochlea, and the WL to the superior surface. D: Line diagram of C. E: Note that the LPTL runs between the lacrimal gland and the lateral horn of the levator muscle, which disperses to the periosteum of the lateral orbital rim. F: Line diagram of E. Tr, trochlea; WL, Whitnall's ligament; LPTL, lower-positioned transverse ligament; LG, lacrimal gland; OP, orbital periosteum; OM, orbicularis muscle; Ci, cilia.
