Trauma to the facial structures could be due to several reasons. Motor vehicle accidents contribute to a large extent in this regard. Trauma to the structures and tissues around the eyes could be due to an injury to the eye, facial bones, head etc. Ectropion is such a medical condition resulted from facial trauma involving outward turning of the lower eyelid and eyelashes. This leaves the inner eyelid exposed and prone to irritation. Commonly, the repair of lower eyelid is done after several days in order to allow the soft tissues welling to subside. Maxillofacial injuries can be complex and multi-speciality involvement in their management may be needed. Reconstructing the defects can prove to be challenging for the plastic surgeon depending upon the severity of the trauma. Thorough knowledge of eyelid anatomy is essential to appreciate the surgical intervention of lower eyelid abnormalities. Let us have a look at this case study
