N2  - In ophthalmological emergencies, patients often present with injuries after falling on their face in particular involving the periocular region. Often these are only trivial injuries of the conjunctiva, eyelids or periocular skin, which require no further treatment. Small dehiscences can be treated with sutures, fibrin glue or Steri-Strips; however, sometimes injuries that are more serious can be mistaken as being trivial but only represent the tip of the iceberg of the actual injury and, therefore, further diagnostics and therapy are required.<p />  <p>Language: de</p>
