Retrobulbar hematoma (RBH) is a rare but serious vision threatening emergency. We analyze the relationship between hematoma volume, visual impairment and outcome.
Fifty-four patients with RBH receiving orbital decompression were retrospectively included. Volumetric analysis of RBH was performed by semi-automatic segmentation based on preoperative CT scans using ITK-SNAP software. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measurements were obtained and correlated in 2 groups (no light perception (NLP), severe visual impairment) with the hematoma volume.
NLP was documented preoperatively in 5/28 and postoperatively in 9/43 patients. Preoperative NLP was significantly associated with a larger hematoma volume (P = .03) and higher hematoma/orbital volume ratio (P = .03). Postoperative severe visual impairment showed significant associations with a larger hematoma volume (P = .02) as well as higher hematoma/orbital volume ratio (P = .02).
Eyes with severe visual impairment and large hematoma volumes preoperatively are at high risk of permanent vision loss. Hematoma volume calculation might represent an additional prognostic parameter for visual outcome after RBH.
球后血肿(RBH)是一种罕见但严重的威胁视力的急症。我们分析了血肿量、视力损害和预后之间的关系。
回顾性纳入 54 例接受眼眶减压术的 RBH 患者。使用 ITK-SNAP 软件,基于术前 CT 扫描,通过半自动分割对 RBH 进行容积分析。在 2 组(无光感(NLP)、严重视力损害)中获得最佳矫正视力(BCVA)测量值,并与血肿量相关。
术前有 5/28 例记录为 NLP,术后有 9/43 例记录为 NLP。术前 NLP 与较大的血肿量显著相关(P =.03),与较高的血肿/眼眶体积比显著相关(P =.03)。术后严重视力损害与较大的血肿量显著相关(P =.02),与较高的血肿/眼眶体积比显著相关(P =.02)。
术前视力严重损害和血肿量大的眼睛有永久性视力丧失的高风险。血肿量计算可能是 RBH 后视力预后的一个附加预后参数。
