Caracterización epidemiológica del trauma ocular a globo abierto / Epidemiological characterization of open globe ocular trauma

RESUMEN Objetivo: Determinar las características clínico-epidemiológicas del trauma ocular a globo abierto. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, observacional y transversal en pacientes con trauma ocular a globo abierto y afectación del segmento posterior en pacientes hospitalizados en el Servicio de Vítreo-Retina del Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología "Ramón Pando Ferrer" entre julio del año 2017 y julio de 2018. Resultados: El 68,18 por ciento de los pacientes fue menor de 50 años y el 88,64 por ciento fueron hombres. El trauma más común fue el penetrante (91,11 por ciento); el 68,89 por ciento de las lesiones ocurrió en zona 1, con predominio de las heridas menor o igual a 4 mm (75,56 por ciento). La circunstancia más común del trauma fue la laboral (50 por ciento). El mecanismo de producción predominante fue el martilleo sobre metal (71,11 por ciento); el 65,91 por ciento de los traumas ocurrieron en zona urbana; el 96,46 por ciento no usaba protección; el 57,77 por ciento tenía una agudeza visual inicial de cuenta dedo o mejor, y la presencia de cuerpo extraño intraocular ocupó el 77,78 por ciento. Conclusiones: En el trauma ocular a globo abierto predominan la edad por debajo de 50 años, el sexo masculino y los traumas penetrantes. La mayor parte se presenta de forma unilateral, durante las actividades laborales y sin protección ocular. Más de la mitad de los pacientes presentan agudeza visual inicial de cuenta dedos o mejor. Los signos oculares asociados más frecuentes son el cuerpo extraño intraocular y la catarata traumática(AU)

ABSTRACT Objective: Determine the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of open globe ocular trauma. Methods: A cross-sectional observational descriptive study was conducted of open globe ocular trauma and posterior segment damage in patients admitted to the Vitreous-Retina Service of Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology from July 2017 to July 2018. Results: Of the patients studied, 68.18 percent were under 50 years of age and 88.64 percent were men. Penetrating trauma was the most common type (91.11 percent); 68.89 percent of the lesions were found in zone 1, with a predominance of injuries smaller than or equal to 4 mm (75.56 percent). Most traumas occurred while at work (50 percent). The prevailing occupational activity being performed at the moment of the trauma was hammering on metal (71.11 percent); 65.91 percent of the traumas occurred in urban areas; 96.46 percent of the patients were not wearing the required protection equipment; 57.77 percent had an initial visual acuity of count fingers or better; and participation of foreign bodies accounted for 77.78 percent. Conclusions: In open globe ocular trauma a predominance is found of age under 50 years, male sex and penetrating traumas. Most are unilateral and occur while working without the required ocular protection. In more than half of the patients initial visual acuity is finger counting or better. The most common associated ocular signs are intraocular foreign body and traumatic cataract(AU)

Prognostic factors for vision outcome after surgical repair of open globe injuries.

Purpose: To evaluate the factors influencing final visual outcome after surgical repair of open globe injuries. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out at a tertiary referral eye care center in Central India. In this retrospective study, case records of 669 patients with open globe injuries were analyzed. Different preoperative variables were correlated with the final visual outcome. Exclusion criteria were patients with less than four months follow up, previous ocular surgery, presence of intraocular foreign body or endophthalmitis at the time of presentation. Using statistical tests, the prognostic factors for vision outcome following surgical repair of open globe injuries were studied. Results: Based on the Spearman's Rho correlation analysis, following factors were found to be significantly associated with the final visual acuity at univariate level: age (P<0.001), preoperative visual acuity (P=0.045), mode of injury (P=0.001), and time lag between the injury and surgery (P=0.003). None of the other clinical factors have statistically significant correlation with final visual acuity. On multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression, only age, mode of injury and the time lag between injury and surgery achieved statistically significant results. Conclusion: In the current study, elapsed time between the injury and surgery, age of the patient, preoperative visual acuity and mode of injury were found to be adversely affecting the final visual outcome. Recognizing these factors prior to surgical intervention or intraoperatively can help the surgeon in evidence-based counseling of the trauma victim and family.

Pattern of ocular injuries in Owo, Nigeria

To determine the pattern of ocular injuries in patients presenting to the eye clinic and the accident and emergency department of Federal Medical Center, Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria. This prospective study was conducted between January and December 2009. Federal Medical Center, Owo is the only tertiary hospital in Ondo State, Nigeria. The eye center located at this medical center was the only eye care facility in the community at the time of this study. All patients were interviewed with the aid of an interviewer-administered questionnaire and underwent a detailed ocular examination. Of 132 patients included in the study, most [84.1%] sustained blunt eye injury while [12.1%] had penetrating eye injury. A considerable proportion of patients [37.9%] presented within 24 hours of injury. Vegetative materials were the most common [42.4%] offending agent, a minority of patients [22%] was admitted and none of the patients had used eye protection at the time of injury. In the current series, blunt eye injury was the most common type of ocular trauma. The community should be educated and informed about the importance of preventive measures including protective eye devices during high risk activities. Patients should be encouraged to present early following ocular injury

study of the complaint of patients coming to the emergency ward of Khatam-Ol-Anbia eye hospital Mashhad. [Center Research Ophthalmology of Mashhad University of Medical sciences]

Ocular emergency is one of the most common problems in the Emergency Department [ED], but a general survey of ocular emergencies has rarely been reported in the literature. This study reviews cases of ocular emergencies presented to the ED of Khatam Hospital [Mashhad] over a 6-months period. A retrospective analysis was done on patients who presented with eye complaints to the ED of Khatam Hospital-Mashhad between March 2007 and August 2007. Ocular diagnoses and hospitalizations due to ocular emergencies in addition to their associated variables were collected and assessed separately. 28,312 patients presented to the ED during the period with eye complaints. The most frequent diagnoses in newly presented patients were grouped as trauma [61%] and inflammatory disorders [22%]. A male to female ratio of about 2.5:1 was assessed. Both genders had the peak age in the third decade. There was a trend toward increased numbers in late spring and early summer. There were a total of 431 cases of hospitalization [1.5% of all presented patients] most of them due to traumatic consequences notably globe rupture [38% of all hospitalizations]. Ocular occupational casualties estimated to be responsible for 43% of all traumatic injuries occurred between 20-59 years of age. Young males were found to run a higher risk of ocular accidents, especially at work. Individuals under 10 years of age estimated to be particularly at risk for severe ocular traumas e.g. eye penetration. Taking more care of these two specially at risk groups and directing protectional educations and preprations towards their work and play could be suggested

Caracterización de las urgencias oftalmológicas en el Hospital José Joaquín Aguirre / Characterization ophthalmological emergencies in Hospital José Joaquín Aguirre

Objective: To perform an epidemiological data of the number and characteristics of patients who consult with ophthalmological emergencies in an Ophthalmology Service. Methods: Aretrospective analysis was performed of all patients attending to the Ophthalmology Service of José Joaquín Aguirre Hospital with ophthalmic emergencies, during one-month period. Consultation distributions were determined by gender, age, consultation reason and final diagnosis. Results: of the 2056 consultations seen in the Ophthalmology Service during the monitoring period, only 60 patients came due to an emergency. 48 percent were men and 52 percent women. Ages of the sample ranged from 0 to 86 years, were the 51-70 years interval represented 43.3 percent; 23.3 percent were due to traumatic causes and 76.7 percent of non-traumatic origin. In 40 percent of the cases the reason of consultation was red eye, while the most common final diagnosis was acute conjunctivitis (28.3 percent). Patients who required control represented 31.7 percent and hospitalization was not considered necessary. Conclusion: the medical emergencies caused by eye problems area major cause of disease, representing a significant proportion of the general ophthalmological consultations. Therefore, general doctors and other health professionals should be trained to identify, handle and refer to specialist if necessary, the most prevalent eye pathologies.

Epidemiological findings of ocular trauma in childhood

PURPOSE: To describe epidemiological findings of ocular trauma in childhood in an emergency unit. METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out including patients under 16 years old who were treated for ocular trauma at the emergency unit of the Federal University of São Paulo from September 2001 to September 2004. Age, sex, involved eye, place, circumstance and mechanism of injury, initial visual acuity and immediate management were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 273 patients were included in the study. The age group comprising most cases was 7 to 10 years (39.9 percent). The most frequent cause of ocular injury was traumatism by external agents like stone, iron and wood objects (27.9 percent). The commonest place was the home (53.1 percent). Initial visual acuity was over 20/40 in 63.4 percent of cases. Closed globe injury occurred in 201 (73.6 percent) accidents. Seventy-six children (27. 8 percent) were treated with medicines and in forty-eight (17.6 percent) cases surgery was necessary. CONCLUSION: Ocular trauma in childhood was more frequent in the male schoolchild and was due mostly to traumatism with agents like stone, wood and iron pieces, domestic utensils and leisure objects. The injuries occurred most frequently at home. Closed globe injuries predominated. Programs of education and prevention for ocular trauma in childhood are necessary.

OBJETIVO: Descrever os achados epidemiológicos do trauma ocular na infância em uma unidade de emergência. MÉTODOS: Em estudo retrospectivo, foram analisados prontuários de pacientes menores que 16 anos que foram atendidos por trauma ocular no Pronto-Socorro de Oftalmologia da Universidade Federal de São Paulo de setembro de 2001 a setembro de 2004. Foram coletadas informações a respeito da idade, sexo, olho envolvido, local, circunstância e mecanismo do trauma, acuidade visual inicial e conduta imediata. RESULTADOS: Um total de 273 pacientes foi incluído no estudo. A faixa etária com maior número de casos foi a de 7 a 10 anos (39,9 por cento). A causa mais freqüente de lesão ocular foi traumatismo com objetos externos como pedra, ferro ou madeira (28,9 por cento) e o local mais comum foi a própria casa (53,1 por cento). A acuidade visual inicial foi melhor que 20/40 em 63,4 por cento dos casos. Houve trauma ocular fechado em 201 (73,6 por cento) acidentes. Setenta e seis pacientes (27,8 por cento) foram tratadas com medicamentos e em quarenta e oito (17,6 por cento) casos foi necessário procedimento cirúrgico. CONCLUSÃO: O trauma ocular na infância foi mais freqüente no sexo masculino, em escolares e foi associado a objetos tais como pedra, madeira, ferro, utensílios domésticos e brinquedos. Os acidentes aconteceram mais freqüentemente em casa e trauma fechado foi a lesão predominante. São necessários programas de educação e prevenção do trauma na infância.

Foram obtidos alguns dados sobre o paciente: idade, sexo, profissão, uso de equipamento de trabalho, uso de óculos, uso de cinto de segurança, tipo de acidente, olho acometido, tempo decorrido até o primeiro atendimento oftalmológico e qual o primeiro local de atendimento. RESULTADOS: A média de idade foi de 34,35 anos, sendo o sexo masculino o mais acometido (87 por cento). O acidente automobilístico foi o mais freqüente. A baixa acuidade visual foi importante fator de procura precoce pelo serviço de emergência, sendo que 92,3 por cento dos pacientes o fizeram em menos de 12 horas de decorrido o trauma. CONCLUSAO: O trauma penetrante corneano foi o tipo de lesão ocular mais observado. Os pacientes mais acometidos são adultos jovens, do sexo masculino, vítimas de acidente automobilístico, sendo o olho direito o mais acometido. A complicação imediata mais observada foi a baixa acuidade visual.

Trauma ocular em crianças: um estudo epidemiológico na universidade federal de Uberlândia nos últimos cinco anos / Open-globe injuries in children: an epidemiological study at the federal university of Uberlândia in the last five years

Relatar a frequência, as causas, as condições da ocorrência e as complicações dos traumas oculares em crianças admitidas ao Hospital de Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (HC-UFU). Método: Análise retrospectiva dos prontuários de 38 crianças (com até 15 anos de idade) que sofreram trauma ocular e foram atendidas no setor de emergência do HC-UFU no período de janeiro de 1996 a dezembro 2000. Os dados foram analisados usando o teste t-Student e o teste Qui-quadrado. Resultados: Os meninos foram acometidos aproximadamente 2.5 vezes mais que as meninas. A idade média foi de 8,70 ± 4,56 anos entre meninos e 7,00 ± 3,74 anos nas meninas. A média de segmento foi de 22,63 ± 20,99 meses. Foram encontrados 34 ferimentos penetrantes (89,5%), um ferimento perfurante (2,6%), um ruptura (2,6%) e dois casos com corpo estranho intraocular (CEIO) associado (5,3%), com acometimento corneano em 71.1% dos casos. Os acidentes domésticos foram a causa a mais comum de trauma. A melhor acuidade visual final corrigida encontrada foi melhor de 0,5 em 13,1% dos pacientes com acometimento corneano e 5,3% com acometimento escleral. Seis pacientes (15,8%) perderam completamente a visão do olho afetado. Conclusões: Os traumas oculares nas crianças permanecem um grave problema e continuam sendo uma causa importante de perda da visão. O lugar mais comum de ocorrência é em casa.

To report the frequency, causes, occurrence conditions and complications of eye injuries in children admitted in the Clinic Hospital of the Medical College of the Federal University of Uberlândia (HC-UFU). Method: Retrospective review of the records of 38 children (15 years of age or younger) that suffered penetrating injuries and were assisted at the HC-UFU emergency room from January 1996 through December 2000. Results: the male to female ratio was approximately 2.5:1. The mean age was 8.70 ± 4.56 years between boys and 7.00 ± 3.74 years in girls. We found 34 penetrating injuries (89.5%). Domestic accidents were the most common cause of injury. Six patients (15.8%) lost the vision of the injured eye completely. Conclusions: Serious eye injuries in children remain n a problem and the most common place for it occurs is the home and ocular trauma continues being an important cause of vision impairment.

Open-globe injuries: the experience at Hospital Sultanah Aminah, Johor Bahru

Between 1st January 1999 and 31st December 2000, 152 patients (156 eyes) with open-globe injuries were treated in the Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital Sultanah Aminah, Johor Bahru. The majority were male (88.2%), Malay (63.2%), from the Johor Bahru district (51.3%) and aged between 21 and 30 years (23.7%). Most injuries were workplace-related (41.4%). Lens injury, retinal detachment, endophthalmitis, intraocular foreign bodies and phthisis occurred in 40.4%, 15.4%, 14.7%, 12.2% and 11.5% of eyes respectively. A favourable visual outcome occurred in 55.4% of eyes. Prognostic factors for visual outcome include presenting visual acuity, relative afferent pupillary defect, wound location, lens injury, retinal detachment and endophthalmitis.

Occupational open globe injuries.

PURPOSE: Occupational ocular trauma is an important cause of acquired monocular blindness in a rapidly industrialising country like India. Knowledge of the epidemiology of occupational eye injuries is essential to formulate viable industrial safety measures. METHOD: We retrospectively reviewed all patients with occupational open globe injuries between 1994 and 1998. We documented the circumstances of the injuries, their clinical findings and the use of appropriate protective eyewear at the time of the injury. The visual acuity 6 months after the injury was the final outcome measure. RESULTS: In this study period we examined 43 patients with open globe injuries sustained at the work place. Thirty-four (79.1%) patients were young males. The iron and steel industry accounted for 19 (44.2%) cases while 8 (18.6%) patients each were from the agricultural, mining and other small scale industrial sectors. At the time of the injury, 33 (76.7%) were not wearing the recommended protective eyewear and 6 (13.9%) were under the influence of alcohol. The injuries were mild in 6 (13.9%), moderate in 18 (41.9%) and severe in 19 (44.2%) patients. At the end of 6 months, 2 (4.7%) patients had a visual acuity of 6/12 or better, 4 (9.3%) had a visual acuity of 6/18 to 6/60 and 29 (67.4.%) had a vision of <6/60. Eight (18.6%) patients were not available for follow up. CONCLUSIONS: Occupational open globe injuries are usually severe and are associated with a poor visual outcome. Mandatory use of protective eyewear and alcohol-free environment at the work place is likely to reduce the incidence of severe occupational open globe injuries.

Traumas oculopalpebrais no serviço de pronto-atendimento oftalmológico do Hospital Universitário Evangélico de Curitiba / Oculopalpebral traumas in the ophthalmology emergency service of the Evangelic University Hospital of Curitiba

Objetivo: Avaliar o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes vítimas de traumas oculopalpebrais na cidade de Curitiba. Métodos: Foram estudados, prospectivamente, 622 pacientes que procuraram o Serviço de Pronto-Atendimento Oftalmológico do Hospital Universitário Evangélico de Curitiba no período de março a junho de 1998. Resultados: Houve predomínio de indivíduos do sexo masculino (6 homens: 1 mulher) e da faixa etária de 20 a 50 anos, compreendendo 73,3 por cento dos atendimentos. Os traumas oculopalpebrais mais freqüentes foram corpo estranho corneoconjuntival (54,6 por cento), ceratoconjuntivite química (12,1 por cento) e trauma contuso (8,8 por cento), sendo que 67,4 por cento dos traumas ocorreram no ambiente de trabalho e 21,2 por cento no ambiente doméstico. Verificou-se que a maioria dos pacientes com trauma oculopalpebral (67 por cento) procurou o serviço médico especializado nas primeiras 24 horas pós-trauma, embora a proteçäo ocular tenha sido pouco utilizada no trabalho e sendo praticamente inexistente em ambiente doméstico. Conclusöes: Os autores enfatizam a grande repercussäp socioeconômica causada pelos traumas oculopalpebrais e a necessidade de alertar órgäos governamentais, médicos especialistas ou näo, representantes de classes, empresários, trabalhadores e a populaçäo em geral quanto à importância da prevençäo de acidentes oculopalpebrais como forma de proteger a saúde ocular e optimizar os recursos humanos em nossa sociedade.

Ferimentos perfurantes oculares no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Säo Paulo. O que mudou nos últimos 27 anos / Ocular penetrating wounds in the Hospital das Clínicas of the University of Säo Paulo. The changes in the last 27 years

Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo de 95 olhos de 92 pacientes com ferimento perfurante ocular admitidos na Clínica Oftalmológica do Hospital das Clínicas da FMUSP entre maio de 1996 a março de 1997.77.2 por cento dos pacientes eram do sexo masculino, a faixa etária mais acometida foi de zero a 40 anos (85.9 por cento). O principal agente causador foi o acidente automobilístico(29.5 por cento), seguido pelos acidentes domésticos, pelos ferimentos causados pela violência e pelos acidentes de trabalho(22.1 por cento,22.1 por cento e 20 por cento respectivamente). Medidas preventivas parecem ter modificado pouco o perfil das causas desses ferimentos no nosso serviço nas últimas décadas, embora sua incidência total tenha diminuído nos últimos cinco anos.

A review of childhood admission with perforating ocular injuries in a hospital in north-west India.

A retrospective study of perforating ocular injuries in children below the age of fifteen years was conducted. Eighty patients (eighty-nine eyes) were included in this study. Male children were more susceptible to ocular injury as compared to females (p = < 0.01). Children of the school-going age were the most affected (73.8%). Majority of the injuries occurred in the sports field (p = < 0.01). Playing with bow and arrow, and gillidanda* accounted for majority of the sport injuries (47.2%). Sixty-eight percent of the perforated eyes had no light perception at the end of treatment. Health education on the preventive aspects of ocular injuries in schools as well as through mass media should reduce the incidence of visual loss due to ocular injuries.

Prefuraçäo ocular em crianças / Penetrating ocular injuries in children

Os autores estudaram, prospectivamente, 174 crianças e adolescentes de um total de 473 casos com ferimento perfurante ocular, atendidos no Pronto Socorro de Oftalmologia do Hospital Säo Paulo - Escola Paulista de Medicina, com seguimento de 2 a 36 meses (x=9,5 meses). Observou-se um predomínio do sexo masculino (74,7 por cento), obedecendo uma proporçäo de 3:1. A córnea foi o local-escleral (30,3 por cento). A maioria das perfuraçöes se deveu a acidentes em ambiente doméstico (71,3 por cento), seeguida dos acidentes causados por violência (14,4 por cento), envolvendo objetos pérfuro-contundentes (28,7 por cento), contundentes (228,2 por cento) e pontiagudos (22,5 por cento). É discutida a relaçäo do prognóstico visual com o agente causal e achados pré-operatórios, bem como a alta incidência de atrofia ocular (25,8 por cento)

Trauma ocular penetrante grave e bilateral: revisäo de 10 casos / Bilateral and severe penetrating ocular trauma: report of 10 cases

Dez casos de ferimentos oculares penetrantes, graves e bilaterais, foram analisados retrospectivamente quanto à epidemiologia, apresentaçäo clínica, tratamento e resultado visual final. Todos os casos foram decorrentes de acidentes automobilísticos em que os pacientes se encontravam no banco dianteiro dos veículos sem o uso de cintos de segurança. Somente 2 pacientes apresentaram traumatismos graves em outros órgäos, os demais apresentaram apenas ferimentos de face junto ao trauma ocular. Quando do trauma penetrante somente foi feita a reconstituiçäo microscópica do globo ocular. Cinco olhos foram enucleados de imediato devido a perda total ou quase total do conteúdo intraocular, com laceraçöes que frequentemente se extendiam até o nervo óptico. Todos os olhos foram submetidos a vitrectomia pars plana e a outros procedimentos adicinais, dependendo de cada caso, entre 1 e 4 semanas após a reconstituiçäo inicial do globo, mas antes da vitrectomia, era apenas de projeçäo luminosa no melhor olho. O tempo de seguimento pós-operatório variou de 3 a 18 meses. Todos os olhos operados obtiveram melhora da acuidade visual que variou de acordo com o tipo da lesäo pré-existente. A importância do uso de cintos de segurança, inclusive no trânsito urbano, e da utilizaçäo da vitrectomia no tratamento destes casos é aqui discutida

Incidencia y características de las injurias oculares penetrantes

Del total de casos de heridas oculares penetrantes recibidas en el departamento de Oftalmología del hospital Luis E. Aybar durante el período comprendido entre julio de 1987 y junio de 1988 se pudo comprobar que el grupo de pacientes más afectados es el del que tienen edades comprendidas entre 11 a 20 años, los cuales abarcaron un 28.0% del total de casos. Luego siguieron los pacientes con edades comprendidas entre los 6-10 años con un total de 30 casos, para un 23.0% de la población estudiada. Los pacientes comprendidos entre las edades de 0-5 años, abarcaron un total de 23 casos para un 18.0 del total. Se demostró que los traumas del segmento anterior del ojo son más frecuentes en el ambiente familiar con 64 casos para un 50% del total de casos. les sigueron los tipos laborales con 34%. Se determinó que los objetos más frecuentes causantes de heridas oculares son los metálicos con 58 casos para un 45.5%. luego le siguieron los vegetables con 32.0%, mientras los objetos de cristal abarcaron 12 casos para un 10.0%. Por último comprobamos que las injurias oculares penetrantes son más frecuentes de localización corneo- esclerales con 82 casos para un 64%, mientras que las corneales abarcaron un 36.0% del total de casos

Evaluación de las heridas perforantes esclerales año 1988: Asistencia Pública de Santiago Dr. Alejandro del Río / Evaluation of the perforant scleral wounds in 1988: Asistencia Pública de Santiago Dr. Alejandro del Río

Se presentan los resultados clínicos de todos aquellos pacientes operados de heridas perforantes esclerales, más allá de tres mm del limbo y que tengan pérdida vítrea asociada, y que fueron atendidos en el Servicio de Oftalmología de la Asistencia Pública Dr. Alejandro del Río, de Santiago, durante el año 1988. Sólo se logró un seguimiento a largo plazo en 19 de los 24 pacientes atendidos con este diagnóstico. Todos los pacientes fueron operados con diatermia, sutura escleral y sección del vítreo prolapsado, sin vitrectomía en las primeras etapas de la enfermedad. De esta serie un 36,8% de los pacientes terminó en fracaso visual, y 61,6% de los pacientes presentó resultados visuales satisfactorios
