Deskripsi
The management of total eyelid avulsion is an arduous task with unpredictable functional and cosmetic result. We present a case of total lower eyelid avulsion in a 6 year old child following injury with bicycle. The reconstruction was done within 6 hours of injury. Retrieval of tissue from the incident site and its preservation permitted us to use it as a composite autograft. The child has recovered well with minor sequelae.
