Eyelid trauma, though rare, often involves the eyelid margin (24%) and lacrimal system (16%). These injuries frequently co-occur with eyeball trauma (44%), highlighting the need for ophthalmic surgeon intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Eyelid trauma is infrequently documented in medical literature.
  • Understanding the epidemiology of eyelid injuries is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present epidemiological data on eyelid trauma.
  • To analyze the types, causes, and associated injuries in patients with eyelid trauma.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective evaluation of 180 patients undergoing surgical treatment for eyelid injuries.
  • Analysis of clinical findings, surgical procedures, and healing complications.

Main Results:

  • Blunt trauma (140 cases) was more common than cutting injuries (26 cases).

  • Common causes included manual work, falls, and violence.
  • Eyelid margin (43 patients) and lacrimal drainage system (28 patients) were frequently affected.
  • Significant association with eyeball trauma (79 patients) was observed, including contusions and perforations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Eyelid trauma affects the lid margin in 24% and the lacrimal drainage system in 16% of cases.
    • A high incidence (44%) of associated eyeball trauma underscores the severity.
    • Primary treatment by an ophthalmic surgeon is recommended due to the potential for severe associated injuries.
