Medical - Medical (general) / Forensic report
French term or phrase: cicatrice en coup d'ongle
This is the report as yesterday.

This forms part of the description of the patient's face:

L'ovale et le volume du visage sont conservés.
Il n'y a pas d'élément dysmorphique.
Par contre, ***cicatrice en coup d'ongle*** a distance de l'angle interne et gauche, sans déficit fonctionnel. La motricité et la motilité oculaire sont normales.

There is previous mention of a scar on the eye surface.

Any ideas?

Many thanks!
