Corneal laceration and forehead erythema: a syndrome in infants.
PURPOSE: To illustrate a syndrome of transient erythema in the first division of the fifth cranial nerve caused by minor corneal laceration, occurring in infants. METHODS: Case reports are presented, together with photographs. These must, of necessity, usually be obtained by the general practitioner because of the short duration of the signs. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: Opinion is sought as to whether other practitioners have recognized this association and whether it has been described elsewhere.
