Abstract

METHODS: WE RETROSPECTIVELY COLLECTED DEMOGRAPHIC, CLINICAL DATA OF ALL PATIENTS CAME TO HOSPITAL HAVING EYELID CANALICULAR LACERATION BETWEEN 2010-2023 .DEMOGRAPHIC & CLINICAL DATA COLLECTED IN PRETESTED FORMAT & STATISTICAL ANALYSES DONE USING SPSS22.
RESULTS: A TOTAL OF 43 PATIENTS STUDIED FOR LID LACERATION WITH MEDIAN AGE 27 YEARS AND MEDIAN FOLLOW UP OF 44 DAYS. 20(46.5%) WERE FROM PAEDIATRIC AGE GROUP AND 8(18.6%) WERE TODDLERS (0-6), WITH MALE PREPONDERANCE(79.1%)
58.1% HAD RIGHT EYE INVOLVEMENT. 34.1% HAD UPPER LID INVOLVEMENT & 79.1% IN LOWER LID. 9.3% HAD INVOLVEMENT IN BOTH LIDS.
18.6% WERE DUE TO CATTLE HORN ,19% WITH BLOUSE HOOK TODDLERS.
34.9% UNDERWENT LID REPAIR WITH CANALICULAR INTUBATION ,30.2 % ANALICULAR REPAIR.4.9 % HAD ASSOCIATED INTRAOCULAR INJURIES.
CONCLUSION: CANALICULAR INJURIES ARE RELATIVELY LESS COMMON WITH MECHANICAL INJURIES BUT CAN BE MANAGED WELL WITH PROMPT EVALUATION AND METICULOUS SURGERY FOR ANATOMICAL AND FUNCTIONAL SUCCESS.
