To describe clinical characteristics and visual outcomes of non-traumatic open globe injuries.
A level 1 trauma centre in a large urban medical centre.
Retrospective study.
Charts of non-traumatic open globe patients admitted to MHH-TMC from 1/2010 to 3/2015 were reviewed for demographics, cause, clinical characteristics, visual acuity (VA) and enucleation.
Thirty eyes were included: 15 (50%) were males with a mean age of 47 (±28) years. All presented with zone 1 injury. Twenty-five (83%) had a perforated corneal ulcer. Presenting VA was count fingers (n = 3, 10%) to NLP (n = 6, 20%). Twenty-four (80%) involved infection, 5 (17%) congenital, 3 (10%) chemical burn and 2 (7%) neurotrophic. Conjunctival injection (n = 22, 77%), corneal opacification (n = 20, 71%) and relative afferent pupillary defect (n = 9, 44%) were common. After treatment, 23 (88%) were worse than 6/60 (20/200), 9 (35%) were NLP and 8 (27%) required enucleation.
Often non-traumatic open globe injuries are zone 1 and due to perforated infectious ulcers. Compared to previously reported traumatic injuries, these have higher rates of enucleation (27% vs 8%) and poorer final VA (88% vs 68% worse than 6/60 20/200).
描述非外伤性开放性眼球损伤的临床特征和视力结果。
大型城市医疗中心的 1 级创伤中心。
回顾性研究。
回顾 2010 年 1 月至 2015 年 3 月期间入住 MHH-TMC 的非外伤性开放性眼球损伤患者的病历,记录人口统计学、病因、临床特征、视力和眼球摘除情况。
纳入 30 只眼:15 只(50%)为男性,平均年龄 47(±28)岁。所有患者均为 1 区损伤。25 只(83%)有穿孔性角膜溃疡。就诊时视力为指数(n=3,10%)至无光感(n=6,20%)。24 只(80%)与感染有关,5 只(17%)为先天性,3 只(10%)为化学烧伤,2 只(7%)为神经源性。常见的有结膜充血(n=22,77%)、角膜混浊(n=20,71%)和相对性传入性瞳孔障碍(n=9,44%)。治疗后,23 只(88%)视力低于 6/60(20/200),9 只(35%)无光感,8 只(27%)需要眼球摘除。
非外伤性开放性眼球损伤通常为 1 区,且多由穿孔性感染性溃疡引起。与之前报道的外伤性损伤相比,这些损伤眼球摘除率更高(27% vs 8%),最终视力更差(88% vs 68%低于 6/60 20/200)。
