ABSTRACT
We present a unique case in which a dog bite resulted in total full-thickness upper eyelid avulsion in a young Caucasian female. The eyelid was replanted using meticulous microsurgical techniques reanastamosing the arterial supply. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a successful microvascular replantation of a completely avulsed upper eyelid. The details of the case and the photographic clinical improvement are described and discussed.
