The answer is the fourth one: ptosis.

Explanation for each option:

  • Chalazion: This is a small, usually painless lump or swelling that appears on the eyelid due to a blocked oil gland. It is not related to muscle weakness or eyelid drooping.
  • Hordeolum: Commonly known as a stye, this is an infection of the oil glands in the eyelid, resulting in a red, painful lump. It does not cause the eyelid to droop due to muscle weakness.
  • Ectropion: This condition involves the outward turning of the eyelid, usually the lower lid, which can lead to irritation. It is not related to the drooping of the upper eyelid.
  • Ptosis: This is the correct term for the drooping of the upper eyelid due to muscle weakness or other causes. It directly describes the condition experienced by Norma Escobar.

In summary, the condition where the right upper eyelid droops slightly due to muscle weakness is called ptosis.
