To report the nature of periorbital trauma after pit bull attacks. While these attacks have been well-characterized in the popular media, no case series has documented the ophthalmic manifestations of this trauma.
We retrospectively reviewed all cases of pit bull terrier attacks that presented to the oculoplastic and orbital surgery service at Albany Medical Center between 2008 and 2011. The age, gender, extent of the injuries, care provided, follow up interval, and complication rate were evaluated for each patient.
Seven patients were identified, with a mean age of 17.2 years. Six of the seven patients were in the pediatric age group. All patients suffered eyelid lacerations, and only one patient had additional injuries. Four patients (57.2%) suffered a canalicular laceration. Despite the lack of post-operative oral antibiotic use, no patient developed a wound infection.
In the ophthalmic setting, pit bull terrier attacks most frequently involve children and result in eyelid lacerations. Canalicular injuries are common after these attacks.
报告比特犬攻击后眶周创伤的情况。虽然这些攻击在大众媒体中有详细描述，但尚无病例系列记录此类创伤的眼部表现。
我们回顾性分析了2008年至2011年间在奥尔巴尼医疗中心眼整形与眼眶外科就诊的所有比特斗牛梗犬攻击病例。对每位患者的年龄、性别、损伤程度、提供的治疗、随访间隔和并发症发生率进行评估。
共确定7例患者，平均年龄17.2岁。7例患者中有6例为儿童年龄组。所有患者均有眼睑裂伤，只有1例患者有其他损伤。4例患者（57.2%）发生泪小管裂伤。尽管术后未使用口服抗生素，但无患者发生伤口感染。
在眼科领域，比特斗牛梗犬攻击最常累及儿童并导致眼睑裂伤。这些攻击后泪小管损伤很常见。
