ABSTRACT

The ocular adnexal traumas are common due to the anatomical location of these structures, and the fulfilling of one of its main duties, that is, the protection of the eyeball. They are classified into traumatic conditions of the eyelids, the conjunctiva, the orbit, and lachrymal system traumas. According to data provided by the United States Eye Injury Registry, the ocular adnexal injuries account for 5 % of all ocular traumas, and the most common are canalicular lacerations with 81 %. Two cases of male patients diagnosed with severe eyelid trauma (eyelid avulsion) were presented. They had been treated in the emergency department; they had undergone surgical treatment with satisfactory results. The report of these cases allows us to better manage the diagnosis and treatment of severe palpebral traumas.
