We report a case of bilateral open globe injury that resulted from a durian fruit falling on a 62-year-old woman's unprotected face during durian picking in her orchard. On presentation, the bilateral vision was light perception. The right eye sustained a curvilinear corneal laceration with expelled intraocular content. Meanwhile, the left eye sustained a corneoscleral laceration with expelled uvea and retina. Additionally, the right upper lid margin was lacerated. Emergency wound exploration, primary toilet, and suturing were performed on bilateral eyes. Preoperatively, she received intramuscular anti-tetanus toxoid and intravenous ciprofloxacin. Intravitreal ceftazidime and vancomycin were given intraoperatively as endophthalmitis prophylaxis. Postoperatively, the vision remained as light perception. There were no signs of endophthalmitis in both eyes. Although traumatic globe injury due to durian is uncommon, individuals should wear protective gear while in a durian orchard to avoid such unprecedented accidents. Prompt yet scrupulous action should be taken to save the globe and further possible complications.
我们报告一例双侧开放性眼球损伤病例,该损伤是一名62岁女性在果园采摘榴莲时,榴莲掉落在其未做防护的面部所致。就诊时,双侧视力仅为光感。右眼有一条曲线形角膜裂伤,伴有眼内容物脱出。同时,左眼有角巩膜裂伤,伴有葡萄膜和视网膜脱出。此外,右上睑缘有裂伤。对双眼进行了急诊伤口探查、初期清创和缝合。术前,她接受了肌肉注射破伤风类毒素和静脉注射环丙沙星。术中给予玻璃体内头孢他啶和万古霉素以预防眼内炎。术后,视力仍为光感。双眼均无眼内炎迹象。尽管榴莲导致的外伤性眼球损伤并不常见,但在榴莲果园时个人应佩戴防护装备,以避免此类前所未有的事故。应迅速且谨慎地采取行动以挽救眼球及预防进一步可能出现的并发症。
