Abstract:
Periocular injuries secondary to animal scratches in children can be dangerous and associated with high morbidity. We present a case of a delayed extrusion of a cat claw from the caruncle of a pediatric patient 11 days after the initial injury. The patient was seen immediately after the injury in the emergency department, when no foreign bodies were noted. He returned to the same emergency department after partial spontaneous extrusion. The claw was removed by the ophthalmology service.
