Abstract

Introduction: Ocular injuries commonly involve the lacrimal system.

Case: A 14-year-old male had an eyelid injury with a canalicular tear. An angiocatheter tube was used as a stent for canalicular reconstruction. The focus of this report is on the method used, as well as the material for the repair in a rural hospital.

Conclusion: Angiocatheter tube can be a suitable alternative to silicone tube for canalicular repair.
