Patient's question:
All symptoms: Onset time and cause: On August 13, 2010, while playing at home, I accidentally got my lower eyelid cut by a toy (plastic product). Treatment history: In Hefei City, the diagnosis was a lacrimal gland rupture. It is currently believed that the rupture site has been found. The doctor requires an anesthetic surgery to locate the rupture site. Desired help: I want to ask the doctor if the lacrimal gland rupture will have any impact on the child's future, and where to get good treatment.Doctor's answer:
From the analysis of the chief complaint, it is considered to be a lacrimal canal fracture. Recommendation: Since it occurred yesterday and the local area is already swollen, the lacrimal canal rupture end needs to be located under general anesthesia. If the rupture end is not sutured, it may cause tearing symptoms. A lacrimal canal anastomosis surgery can generally be performed in a third-tier hospital.In this case, it is best to visit a regular large hospital's ophthalmology department for treatment. Early treatment is preferable, and lacrimal duct reconstruction surgery can be performed. For specific details, it is necessary to consult with the ophthalmology department. Parents should not worry too much.
