“…Contrary to that general belief, however, Daubert et al found that inferior and superior canaliculi were equally involved in tear drainage in a scintigraphic study. [34] Moore and Linberg, in an experimental study in which they obstructed single canalicular, determined that subjective findings occur in 56% of upper canalicular obstruction events, and in 63% of lower canalicular obstructions, and concluded that both canaliculi have equal role. [35] The present study had limited number of upper canalicular lacerations, and anatomical and functional success was obtained in all of the superior and inferior canalicular lacerations.…”

“…Daubert ve ark. 10 ise yaptıkları sintigrafik çalışmada alt ve üst kanalikülün gözyaşı drenajına eşit oranda katıldığını saptamışlardır. Bu bulgular ışığında epifora gelişimini önlemek amacıyla ve ileride gelişebilecek travmalar da göz önüne alınarak tek kanalikül hasarı bile olsa tüm kanaliküler kesilerinin tamiri mutlaka yapılmalıdır.…”

Re sults: The mean age was 25 (1-56) years. Twelve patients (80%) were males and 3 (20%) were female. Twelve (80%) eyes presented with lower canalicular laceration, 1 (6.7%) eye-with upper canalicular laceration, and 2 (13.3%) eyes had bicanalicular laceration. Five of injuries (33%) were due direct sharp objects and 10 of injuries (66%) occurred due to blunt trauma. Six of patients were operated under general anesthesia and 9 of patients were operated under local anesthesia. The mean time duration between canalicular injury and surgery was found to be 14 hours (4-39 hours). The mean duration of the tubes' residence time was 5.26 months (1-6 months). Patients were followed averagely 14 months (6-32 months) in the postoperative period. The open status of lavage was considered as anatomical success, and the absence of fluorescein dye pooling and epiphora was considered as functional success. Except for 1 patient with tube protrusion in the early postoperative first month, anatomical and functional success was achieved in 14 patients (93.3%) during the follow-up period. Conclusion: After traumatic canalicular lacerations, Monoka ® tube intubation is an easily applicable and effective method with low risk of damage. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2015; 45: 14-17)

“…The upper and lower puncta contribute relatively equal amounts to tear drainage, and late-presenting injuries may present with epiphora rather than acute trauma secondary to scarring and malunion of occultly damaged canalicular structures. 15,16 Special consideration should be given to dog bites, which have a significantly increased risk of canalicular involvement Periorbital Soft Tissue Trauma Seol, Dweck 467 and present unique challenges compared with other forms of direct, penetrating trauma. Dogs are the most common source of animal bites and disproportionately affect the face, head, and neck in children, with 35% or more of eyelid-involving bites also involving the lacrimal drainage apparatus.…”

Eyelid trauma occurs across a broad spectrum of pathology, ranging from simple periorbital lacerations to severe, vision-threatening injuries requiring expert oculoplastic consultation. Any injury, no matter how benign, is also inherently cosmetically sensitive, further adding to the reconstructive challenge. In this review, we discuss the anatomy of the eyelid and develop an understanding of evaluating for signs of more serious, potentially occult, trauma. A framework is developed for approaching the patient with periorbital trauma to assess for injury and triage necessary treatments. Damage to the lacrimal drainage system, which can be particularly difficult to detect and repair, is specifically emphasized and explored.
