RESUMO
To report a unusual case of an isolated traumatic stellated tarso-conjunctival laceration located in the upper left eyelid without eyelid margin involvement and with normal ocular examination. A 19 year-old male wounded by a bokken (wooden katana) while practicing a sham duel had an isolated eyelid tarso-conjunctival laceration, without any other eyelid layer damage, neither skin nor muscle. Treatment was conservative without suture, by means of compressive occlusion fixing the pieces of broken tarsus in the correct position. The aim of the treatment was to avoid any wrong eyelid position secondary to healing. The eyelid maintained normal structure and movement in the follow-up at 8 months. Tarsal plate rupture is usually combined with other eyelid layer damage, which usually requires suture by layers. If eyelid skin and muscle are intact, we may choose conservative management.

Sub-Tenon's local anaesthesia has become a popular technique of infiltrative anaesthesia for small incision cataract surgery. We report the development of an inclusion cyst of the conjunctiva following this technique. The aetiology of this complication and how it can be avoided are discussed.

A 91-year-old woman with a complete rupture of her mitomycin-C filtration bleb associated with eye rubbing while crying was examined. An 18mm soft contact lens was placed preoperatively to re-form the anterior chamber and the patient underwent a conjunctival advancement. Histopathology of the free conjunctival specimen revealed a stratified squamous epithelium with marked attentuation of the subepithelial tissue in the area treated with mitomycin-C. Bleb rupture may be associated with minimal physical trauma following guarded filtration surgery. Successful visual rehabilitation is possible with conjunctival advancement, yet long-term survival of the bleb is poor.

PURPOSE: To determine if adequate anesthesia and akinesia could be obtained using an inferonasal quadrant sub-Tenons anaesthesia for cataract surgery. METHODS: The sub-Tenons method of local anaesthesia was used in 50 patients undergoing extracapsular cataract extraction and lens implantation. The technique following was that described by JD Stevens in his study of 50 patients. Posterior sub-Tenons space was approached through a conjunctival incision in the inferonasal quadrant and the anaesthetic solution delivered by an irrigating cannula. The patients were assessed for residual ocular movements just before surgery. Effectiveness of anaesthesia was assessed during surgery using a verbal pain rating score. Scoring was based on the concept of a visual analogue pain score chart. RESULTS: Total akinesia was obtained in 20% patients and total anaesthesia in 24% patients. The remainder of the patients had adequate akinesia and anaesthesia to proceed with and complete the surgery. CONCLUSION: This method provides satisfactory anaesthesia for cataract surgery.
