canthal

It has a gold iris, with a yellow canthal line.

Between the supraocular and internasal, only a single canthal scale is present.

The supraocular are separated from the supranasals by 2 canthal scales.

Tabbi, who's twelve now with lateral canthal rhytides around her eyes from crying.

The snout is blunt with moderate canthal ridges.

On the head, the canthals, internasals and rostral are elevated to form a distinct canthal ridge.

The canthal ridge is concave (curves outward) and has thick and rounded edges.

Canthal edges rounded.

Lateral canthal rhytides.

Head large, oviform, very distinct from neck; a strong rounded supraorbital and canthal ridge; five deep concavities, via.

Therefore, the incisions for harvesting the nasolabial flap do not continue superiorly beyond the medial canthal tendon.

Bloody punctal discharge or lacrimal sac distension above the medial canthal tendon is also highly suggestive of neoplasm.

A quite difficult problem to correct postoperatively is canthal drift, which can be managed best by carefully preserving the canthal tendon attachments as much as possible.

In snakes and amphibians, the canthus, canthal ridge or canthus rostralis, is the angle between the flat crown of the head and the side of the head between the eye and the snout.

Because the medial canthal tendon is affixed to the facial bone, it readily resists the forces of wound contracture; moreover, the animation (movement) of the medial brow also lends resistance to the forces of wound contracture.

Furthermore, the medial canthal region is aesthetically hidden by the shadows of the nasal dorsum and of the supraorbital rim, thereby obscuring any differences in the quality of the color and of the texture of the replacement skin (epithelium).

(a) Medial canthus The skin between the nasal dorsum and the medial canthal tendon is uniquely suited to healing by secondary intention; the outcomes often are superior to what is achieved with either skin grafts or skin-flaps and tissue-flaps.

Nonetheless, one potential, but rare, complication of this nasal correction approach is the formation of a medial canthal web, which can be corrected with two (2) opposing Z-plasties, technique which relieves the disfiguring tensions exerted by the scar tissue's contracture, its shape, and location on the nose.
