ABSTRACT

A 34 years old male patient who was exposed to a stab wound to his left eye applied to the emergency service. His examination unveiled a full thickness avulsion in his lower and upper palpebra and bicanalicular laceration. Visual perception was 6/10 in his left eye. The examination of the anterior segment and the fundus was uneventful. He was emergently taken to the operating theatre and the laceration in the lower and upper palpebra were repaired after the application of bicanalicular nasal intubation. No ischemic outcome was present after the operation and the silicone tubes were removed by the end of postoperative sixth month. The most important point in the treatment of full thickness avulsion of the palpebra is the preservation of the tissue perfusion and the close follow up of the patients for the signs of ischemia.
