Innovative post-traumatic ectropion repair – A case report

Eyelid ectropion is the outward turning of the eyelid away from the globe of the eye. Trauma is one of the acquired causes of ectropion. The scar can pull the eyelid and lead to cicatricial ectropion. It causes dryness of the eye, watering, exposure to keratitis, and a great psychological impact on the patient. Correction is needed to protect the eye and improve esthetic appearance. Many treatment modalities, such as regional flaps and transconjunctival flaps, were described earlier which are complex. We present an innovative approach to post-traumatic ectropion repair with simple scar revision and threads.
