Aim: To report a case of lower lid entropion secondary to a missed intraorbital foreign body. Case Presentation: A 7-year-old boy presented with inward turning of the left lower lid for three days prior to admission. A week before, the child was in the garden when part of the roof of their home suddenly broke off, with pieces of the debris falling near him. He complained of left eye irritation, but a visit to a general practitioner found no eye abnormalities. Three days after that, the mother sought an ophthalmology opinion as she noticed inversion of the left lower lid. On examination, visual acuity in both eyes was 6/6. There was left lower lid entropion, and a deeply embedded foreign body seen in the lower lid. No other eye abnormalities noted. Computed tomography scan of the orbits revealed a welldefined foreign object in the lower orbit, fracturing the antero-superior wall of the left maxillary sinus. The left eye foreign body was removed uneventfully via a transconjunctival approach. Conclusion: A thorough examination is mandatory in any case of ocular trauma especially in young children, who are usually unable to provide a clear history of the injury.展开更多

Methods: the clinical data of 100 elderly patients with upper eyelid skin relaxation and entropion trichiasis treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with modified double eyelid plasty, and the clinical effect was analyzed. Results: the suture was removed 7 days after operation. The skin incision healed well, the height and radian of double eyelid were natural, the position of eyelid margin was normal, the eyelashes were far away from the cornea, and the clinical symptoms alleviated or disappeared;10 cases of slight postoperative eyelid insufficiency were improved by applying ointment after operation;There were no serious complications in 100 patients;After 12 months of follow-up, there was no recurrence of trichiasis and the double eyelids were symmetrical on both sides. Compared with before operation, the width, inclination, angle and inner canthus distance of blepharoplasty were better (P < 0.05). Conclusion: the treatment of senile upper eyelid skin relaxation with entropion trichiasis with modified double eyelid plasty can improve the state of upper eyelid skin relaxation, restore the position of eyelid to normal, and correct entropion trichiasis. Compared with before and after operation, the width, inclination, angle and distance of eyelid fissure are better, which can be used for reference.展开更多
