Introduction: War injured patients from Syria are constantly being transferred to Lebanon for management after rudimentary primary closure of their wounds is done at the combat zone.

Case presentation: The cases presented below represent some of the extreme cases of delayed presentation of peri-ocular trauma and the adaptations reconstructive surgeons had to make for conventional techniques.

Conclusion: We describe in our paper modified techniques in reconstructing delayed presentations of peri-ocular injuries secondary to war trauma in Lebanon and Syria.
