RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Syrian patients injured in the war frequently undergo rudimentary primary wound closure in combat zones. These patients are later transferred to Lebanon where their wounds need to be secondarily managed. This often leads to the creation of unorthodox approaches for reconstruction of orbital injuries. CASE PRESENTATION: The authors of this manuscript demonstrate a few cases of peri-ocular trauma with a delayed presentation, in which adaptations of conventional reconstructive methods had to be implemented had to be undertaken for optimal results. CONCLUSION: Modified techniques for reconstruction of peri-ocular injuries with delayed presentation are discussed in this paper. The patients are cases of trauma secondary to war in the region of Lebanon and Syria. The unique presentations of these patients have led to the use of "opportunity flaps" surrounding highly fibrotic and scarred tissue, in an attempt to allow for delayed reconstruction.
