Abstract
When confronted with trauma in the pediatric population, there are challenges differing from the adult patient. The mechanism of trauma varies and can be bizarre in nature, testing the skills of the surgeon in both diagnosis and treatment. Examination may be difficult, making accurate diagnosis challenging. Animal bites and unusual projectiles are found more frequently in children, often resulting in an injury pattern involving multiple aspects of the eyelid and adnexa. The surgeon must also take into consideration anatomic difference in both size and proportion. The additional risk for occlusion amblyopia may limit options available during complex repairs and postoperative care. This chapter discusses the evaluation and management of pediatric lid and adnexal trauma in detail. Examples in clinical and surgical settings help to highlight the principles.
