چکیده
INTRODUCTION Ocular injuries commonly involve the lacrimal system. CASE A 14-year-old male had an eyelid injury with a canalicular tear. An angiocatheter tube was used as a stent for canalicular reconstruction. The focus of this report is on the method used, as well as the material for the repair in a rural hospital. CONCLUSION Angiocatheter tube can be a suitable alternative to silicone tube for canalicular repair.
