Summary

Traumatic eyelid avulsion is rare but can be successfully treated with reimplantation. Optimal preservation involves storing avulsed eyelid tissue at 4°C, avoiding saline immersion, for potential surgical repair.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Tissue Preservation

Background:

  • Traumatic eyelid avulsion, a rare injury, presents significant reconstructive challenges.
  • Prompt and appropriate management is crucial for successful functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Observation:

  • A case of extensive right upper eyelid avulsion (>75%) in an 18-year-old male is presented.
  • The avulsed tissue was recovered 10 hours post-trauma and successfully reimplanted, resulting in a functional eyelid with significant madarosis.
  • Experimental surgery simulated avulsed eyelid repair, with postoperative changes mirroring the clinical case.

Findings:

  • Eyelid tissues should not be immersed in saline solution.
  • Avulsed eyelid tissue should be stored at 4°C.

  • For reimplantation within 6 hours, storage in a cold, moist environment is adequate.

    • Implications:

    • Establishes evidence-based guidelines for the emergency management of avulsed eyelid tissue.
    • Highlights the potential for successful functional restoration even with delayed tissue recovery.
    • Informs surgical planning and tissue preservation techniques in oculoplastic and trauma surgery.
