423. Ocular Trauma 1: Lid Lacerations and Orbital Compartment Syndrome

In this episode of Surgery 101 where we will cover practical tips for recognizing and managing eye trauma. This week’s episode will cover lacerations and compartment syndrome. For today, our objectives are: 1. Eyelid lacerations: recognize if these involve the eyelid margin or the canalicular system, and recognize why medial lid lacerations are often the most concerning. 2. Orbital compartment syndrome: recognize signs of this ophthalmic emergency and explain why a lateral canthotomy and cantholysis is the urgent procedure of choice.
