Palpebral trauma is common in Sikasso hospital. We report a particular localization of foreign bodies (the crystal rod of the pen (Bic) and of a fish hook) in the eyelids of two children. The injuries occurred in a context of intentional assault and battery in the school environment for pen crystal and margouillat hunting with the hook. The treatment was surgical and the postoperative course was simple. Prevention through awareness would be necessary to avoid eyelid trauma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
