Pediatric facial fractures are uncommon, especially orbital fractures, which can be unnoticed in 30% of the cases. Any delay regarding either diagnosis or treatment implies the risk of long-term sequels. Limited data exists concerning craniofacial fractures in children, especially the ones compromising the orbital substructures. Distribution varies upon several series; however, there is inexistence of literature regarding specific and isolated fractures of the lacrimal skeletal system. Injuries to the medial orbital wall canthal tendon can lead to disinsertion/ruptures of the medial canthal tendon. A canthopexy is the most indicated treatment to restore the original canthal position and the re-establishment of palpebral normal function. This paper's purpose is to present an isolated posterior lacrimal crest fracture/avulsion case secondary to a high-energy trauma involving a 6-year-old girl and present an exhaust literature revision. |
