Yet uncommon, blindness is a potential associated injury of facial fractures.
Epidemiology, mechanisms, fracture types, and outcome of facial fractures-associated blindness in a 10-year period are retrospectively reviewed.
Out of 907 facial fractures patients, 10 had blindness, giving a frequency of 1.1%. There were 9 men and 1 woman whom age range was 6 to 59 years (mean: 31.2 years). Intentional injury patients were significantly the most at risk of blindness (P = 0.02). In all the patients, the fracture involved at least 1 of the orbit walls. Risk of blindness was significantly higher in naso-fronto-orbito-ethmoidal complex fractures (P = 0.03). The vision loss was recorded in 13 eyes (unilateral in 7 patients and bilateral in 3). Its predominant mechanism was a globe rupture or perforation, recorded in 8 eyes. A treatment with intention to improve the vision was attempted in 1 patient only. None of the patients had vision recovery.
The findings of this study commend comprehensive ophthalmologic evaluation in any patient with an orbit wall fracture.
失明是面部骨折的一种潜在相关损伤,虽不常见。
回顾性分析10年间面部骨折相关失明的流行病学、机制、骨折类型及预后。
907例面部骨折患者中,10例出现失明,发生率为1.1%。其中男性9例,女性1例,年龄范围为6至59岁(平均31.2岁)。故意伤害患者失明风险显著最高(P = 0.02)。所有患者的骨折均累及至少1个眶壁。鼻额眶筛复合体骨折患者失明风险显著更高(P = 0.03)。13只眼出现视力丧失(7例为单眼,3例为双眼)。其主要机制为眼球破裂或穿孔,见于8只眼。仅1例患者尝试进行了旨在改善视力的治疗。所有患者视力均未恢复。
本研究结果建议对任何眶壁骨折患者进行全面的眼科评估。
