Trauma is the major reason for globe loss in adults; however, there are less data regarding the causes for globe loss in children. We reviewed the underlying diagnoses of children who underwent ocular prosthesis fitting over a 1-year period at a referral eye hospital in the Middle East and found retinoblastoma, trauma, and congenital microphthalmia or anophthalmia to be the most common diagnoses, respectively. Enucleation and evisceration were the most common procedures and were exclusively performed for retinoblastoma and trauma, respectively. Ocular morbidity from the most common diagnoses related to pediatric globe loss in the region could be decreased by improved family education, safety precautions, and genetic counseling.
外伤是成人眼球缺失的主要原因；然而，关于儿童眼球缺失原因的数据较少。我们回顾了在中东一家转诊眼科医院1年内接受眼假体植入的儿童的潜在诊断，发现视网膜母细胞瘤、外伤、先天性小眼症或无眼症分别是最常见的诊断。眼球摘除术和眼内容剜出术是最常见的手术，分别专门用于治疗视网膜母细胞瘤和外伤。通过改善家庭教育、安全预防措施和遗传咨询，可以降低该地区与儿童眼球缺失相关的最常见诊断的眼部发病率。
