Neonatal eyelid and canalicular laceration in cesarean delivery
DOI: 10.5935/0034-7280.20180111
In modern medicine, neonatal traumatic injuries during childbirth are rare. More rarely are those during a cesarean birth. That is the first reported case of palpebral laceration and neonatal canicular cesarean section. We describe the joint work of early diagnosis by the pediatric team and the prompt ophthalmologic surgical intervention in a well-conducted case of right palpebral and canalicular laceration. The infant presents without permanent functional impairment during postoperative follow-up.
