Grand Ward Round17th April 2008 MO presenting: D Ho Consultants-in-charge: Dr V Yong Dr N Tan
Case 1 • 39, chinese, male, construction worker • Painful right eye with blurring of vision from 1pm on day of presentation
History • While hammering metal, felt speck of metal fly into right eye • At presentation, in right eye • Pain • Redness • Blurring of vision • Not wearing safety goggles at that time
Physical Examination • Visual acuity • Right 6/30, no improvement on pinhole • Left 6/6 • No RAPD
Ocular trauma score • Presenting visual acuity • Presence of endophthalmitis • Globe rupture • Perforating injury • Retinal detachment • Afferent pupillary defect
Left eye infero-nasal corneo-scleral laceration with iris plugging Intra-ocular foreign body Possible lens involvement Provisional Diagnosis
Predictors for poor visual outcome in IOFB • Visual acuity (≥ hand movements) • RAPD • Hyphaema • Vitreous haemorrhage • Uveal prolapse • Retinal detachment • Corneoscleral entrance wound
Management • Decision to proceed with toilet and suture, and examination under anaesthesia • Antibiotic coverage • Recommended • Fluoroquinolones eg moxifloxacin, levofloxacin • Systemic and intra-vitreal • Tetanus immunisation
Intra-operative findings • Corneo-scleral laceration • ? Foreign body at inferior aspect of AC, removed using aspiration cannula
Post-operative findings • Reflectile object on inferior pole of lens
Management • Decision to close up and repeat CT
Repeat CT orbits • Residual intra-ocular foreign body
Management • Decision for repeat re-exploration of globe and removal of IOFB and lens
Management • TPPV • IOFB moved to anterior vitreous with intra-ocular magnet • Pars plana sclerostomy enlarged, FB removed with forceps • Cryo and endolaser
Case 2 • 40, Indian, Male Shipyard worker • Pain over right eye, cheek and forehead
History • Was involved in a sand blast injury at work • Claims to have had blast of sand particles from compressor hit right cheek, eye and forehead • Now presenting with right eye • Blurring of vision • Pain and redness
Physical Examination • Visual acuity • Right eye HM @ 3 ft, no improvement • Left eye 6/12, on PH 6/9 • No RAPD
Physical Examination • Multiple foreign bodies on cornea, conjunctiva, lid and face on right side • Right eye • Diffused sub-conjunctival haemorrhage • AC flare, no cells • Cornea - large epithelial defect • Self sealing scleral laceration at superior temporal region.
Investigation • X-ray: multiple tiny opacities over right orbit, changing in position with look up and look down • CT orbits • Multiple particles embedded in face, conjunctiva and scleral of right globe • Small particels in lens, within AC • No obvious FB in posterior chamber
Management • Decision to preceed with right TPPV, T&S of scleral laceration, exploration, removal of IOFB
Intra-operative findings • Multiple stone foreign bodies embedded in and under conjunctiva superior, nasal, temporal and bulbar areas • Conjunctival laceration at 10 o’clock • Scleral wound at 10 o’clock • Lens intact
Operative procedure • Examination under anaesthesia • Exploration of corneoscleral wounds • Toilet and suture of corneoscleral lacerations • Removal of extraocular foreign bodies
Post-operation • Repeat CT scan done to look for any other IOFB
Investigation • 2 foreign bodies remaining on right globe at 6 and 8 o’clock positions
Post-operation • On review • Patient noted to have FB at 6 o’clock position on gonioscopy • Decision to proceed for repeat removal of FB, with TPPV and internal search
Management • Foreign body in anterior chamber at 6 o’clock removed • Attempted TPPV, but abandoned as unable to create PVD • Thorough internal search for IOFB • None found
Discussion • Delayed vs Early removal • Considerations • Presence of clinical endophthalmitis • Concomitant medical problems of patients • Availability of trained OT personnel
Discussion • Early removal • Within first 24 hours • Advantages • Decrease risk of endophthalmitis • Decrease risk of proliferative vitroretinopathy • Decrease anaesthetic risk
Discussion • Delayed removal • More than 24hours after first operation • Ferrari et al: no difference in functional or anatomical outcome observed with delayed surgery (mean 5.75 days) • Colyer et al: delayed IOFB removal may not be associated with higher risk of endophthalmitis (72hr to 21days)
Discussion • Delayed removal • Advantages • Better integrity of repaired laceration • Less severe anterior segment pathology • Hyphaema resolution • Resorption of corneal oedema • Allow time for PVD to develop • Resorption of some vitreous haemorrhage
