OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical presentation and management of @entity1 with @entity302 presenting with periocular post burn @entity2318 . DESIGN: Prospective and descriptive study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: Department of Ophthalmology, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi from September 1999 to September 2002. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This study included 23 @entity1 who had @entity302 and presented with periocular post-burn @entity2318 to the eye department for management. All @entity1 had @entity1159 of their lids with variable amounts of corneal @entity2318 and damaged to the eye ball. The surgical procedure performed consisted of release of @entity1159 , horizontal lid shortening and application of free skin graft. RESULTS: There were 18 (78.26%) female and 5 (21.73%) male @entity1 . The age range was from 18 to 45 years with a mean of 28 years. In 17 (73.91%) @entity1 , lid @entity1159 was released to cover their eyeballs. In 6 (26.08%) @entity1 the eyeball was lost due to late presentation. CONCLUSION: There should be a high index of suspicion in @entity4808 for @entity16 and early referral to an ophthalmologist should be made to prevent complications. Early release of @entity1159 with application of full or partial thickness skin grafts is advisable.
