Large area eyelid defects induced by human biting was rare. A 43-year-old man was bited by a human. His Blepharocoloboma size was 60% percent of the upper eyelid, the horizontal defect length of defect area was 25mm, the vertical height was 5mm,a small mass like lateral eyelid tissue was left on the Lateralis lid margin. The toughness of this lateral eyelid tissue was enough to support the lateral canthus tissue transfered to the same area then the lateral eyelid tissue was sutured with the remaining sclera after which the sclera-conjunctiva was reconstructed. The skin tranfering from lateral canthus was sutured with conjunctiva without exposing. Eyelid defect was effectively repaired. The technique of lateralis cantholysis association with self remaining lateral eyelid tissue version was manifested an alternative and useful procedure for the reconstruction of large area upper full thickness eyelid defects.
