This case report details a rare lower eyelid canalicular laceration. A modified surgical technique using a silk stent for repair is presented.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oculoplastic Surgery

Background:

  • Canalicular lacerations are injuries to the tear drainage system.
  • Lower eyelid and canalicular injuries can be complex to manage.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a rare laceration involving the lower punctum, vertical canaliculus, and ampulla of the lower eyelid.
  • This type of injury affects the integrity of the tear drainage pathway.

Findings:

  • A modified surgical repair technique for this specific canalicular laceration was successfully employed.
  • The technique involved the use of a silk stent placed within the canalicular system to facilitate healing and patency.

Implications:

  • This modified approach offers a potential solution for managing rare and complex canalicular lacerations.
