Abstract
This case report describes a 5-year-old dog with a defect in the right eyelid, absence of orbicularis musculature, and absence of cutaneous tissue in the infraorbital region, submitted to the Mustardé flap technique. A large rotational flap was performed, including a cartilage graft from the outer ear, to correct the defect in the lower eyelid and infraorbital region. Also, euryblepharon correction of the upper eyelid was performed with wedge excision. The techniques were performed in a single surgical step and with appropriated functional and aesthetic results. The described approach may be employed as a surgical option in large eyelid defects.
