ABSTRACT
Burns of the eyelid and surrounding structures are relatively uncommon in spite of a high incidence of thermal injuries involving the face. The etiologic factors, circumstances that precipitated the injury, and the anatomical features unique to the eyelid and adnexal area may conceivably account for the low incidence. The basic aims in reconstructing deformities must include primarily measures of protecting corneal exposure and relieving epiphora. Early reconstruction of other deformities such as epicanthal folds, palpebral stenosis, and missing eyebrows and eyelashes should be discouraged because of frequent recurrence of deformities due to contracting scars and scar hypertrophy.
