ABSTRACT
El trauma ocular constituye la causa de pérdida ocular más frecuente a nivel mundial y puede presentarse en cualquier etapa de vida, con mayor incidencia en la niñez. El manejo puede ser quirúrgico, quirúrgico-protésico o protésico. A continuación, se presenta un caso clínico que describe la rehabilitación protésica individualizada posterior a una evisceración en una lesión ocular unilateral traumática de hace aproximadamente 56 años, que presenta ptosis del párpado superior, colapso y atrofia muscular debido a la falta de función. Se describe la técnica de confección de los conformadores oculares para corregir la ptosis del párpado superior y lograr la expansión gradual de la cavidad, así como la confección de la prótesis ocular individualizada, con el objetivo de alcanzar los requerimientos funcionales y estéticos esperados.

Ocular trauma is the most frequent cause of eye loss worldwide. It can occur at any stage of life, with a higher incidence in childhood. Management can be surgical, surgical - prosthetic or prosthetic. We describe individualized prosthetic rehabilitation in a clinical case of upper eyelid ptosis, collapse and muscle atrophy due to lack of function following evisceration in a traumatic unilateral ocular injury approximately 56 years previously. We describe the technique for making ocular shapers to correct ptosis of the upper eyelid and achieve gradual expansion of the cavity, as well as the preparation of an ocular prosthesis to fulfill the expected functional and esthetic requirements.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o perfil dos portadores de cavidade anoftálmica e a evolução dos pacientes com os tratamentos empregados. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo, realizado na Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu, avaliando-se o perfil e a evolução dos portadores de cavidade anoftálmica, tratados no serviço. Os dados foram estudados segundo frequência de ocorrência e análise de associação. RESULTADOS: Os portadores de cavidade anoftálmica eram mais frequentemente em homens, trabalhadores em atividades exercidas com as mãos, jovens. O trauma e a phthisis bulbi foram as causas mais encontradas, havendo diferenças de acordo com a faixa etária e sexo. O índice complicações foi alto (57,1 por cento dos casos), a maioria ocorrendo tardiamente. CONCLUSÕES: O trauma continua sendo causa importante de perda do olho. As complicações que ocorrem durante o acompanhamento do portador de cavidade anoftálmica são frequentes e ocorrem, em geral, tardiamente, o que reforça a necessidade de acompanhamento periódico e prolongado destes pacientes.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the profile of anophthalmic cavity carriers and patients' evolution with the employed treatments. METHODS: Retrospective study carried out at Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu, to evaluate the profile and the evolution of patients with anophthalmic cavity treated in our service. Data were evaluated according to the frequency of occurrence and analysis of association. RESULTS: Anophthalmic cavity was more frequently observed in young males, workers in activities carried on with their hands. Trauma and phthisis bulbi were the most frequent causes, with differences according to age and gender. The complications were high (57.1 percent of cases), the majority occurred belatedly. CONCLUSIONS: Trauma is still an important cause of loss of the eye. The complications during the follow-up of the patient are frequent, occurring in general, very late, which reinforces the need for periodic and prolonged monitoring of patients with anophthalmic cavity.
