Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Fish-hook injury to the eyelid is not uncommon. The management of fish-hook injury is unique and involves various considerations due to the unique shape and design of fish-hook. Several removal techniques are possible. Here we present three cases of fish-hook injury to the eyelid and their different management in view various position and depth of the fish-hook. There is no single best technique of removal for all types of fish-hooks. Clinicians need to use their judgments to decide on the best method. Radioimaging like computed tomography (CT) scan is useful in assessing hook position and the extent of possible injury for deeply embedded fish-hook. Protective eyewear could be advocated as primary prevention.
