Categories • Blunt Trauma • Penetrating Trauma • Chemical injuries • Thermal injuries • Radiation burns • Electric shock
I. Blunt Ocular Trauma • Cause: Trauma of the eye by a blunt object e.g. stone, tennis ball, football, stick….etc
Sequelae of blunt ocular trauma • Orbit: blow-out fracture • Eyelids: lid edema & ecchymosis • Conjunctiva: conj.laceration, subconj. hge • Cornea: cornea edema, corneal laceration or abrasion • Sclera: rupture globe • Anterior chamber: hyphema • AC Angle: angle recession glaucoma
Contin. • Iris: iridodialysis • Pupil: traumatic miosis & traumatic mydriasis • Lens: Tr. cataract, subluxation, dislocation • Vitreous: vitreous hge • Choroid: ch. rupture, ch. effusion • Retina: retinal edema, dialysis, tear, hge, detachment. • Optic nerve: traumatic optic neuropathy
1. OrbitBlow-out fracture of orbital floor • Mechanism: An object larger than 5 cm in diameter (e.g. tennis ball) strikes the orbit and the increased intraorbital pressure fractures the orbital floor
2. Eyelids • Lid ecchymosis (black eye) • Lid edema • Lid emphysema (paranasal sinuses) • Traumatic ptosis
3. Conjunctiva • Subconjunctival hemorrhage • Lacerated wound (small)
Differential Diagnosis • Local ocular trauma Vs Fracture base of the skull
4. Cornea • Corneal edema • Corneal abrasion or laceration
5. Sclera • Direct contusion rupture of the sclera • Indirect contusion rupture of the sclera
8. Iris • Laceration, hemorrhage • Iridodialysis • Post-traumatic iridocyclitis
9. Pupil • Traumatic miosis • Traumatic mydriasis • Minute ruptures in the pupillary border
10. Lens • Vosssius ring • Traumatic (concussion) cataract 1. Punctate opacities in superficial cortex 2. Rosette-shaped posterior cortical cataract • Traumatic subluxation or dislocation
Traumatic cataract(Rosette-shaped posterior cortical cataract)
Traumatic cataract(Rosette-shaped posterior cortical cataract)
11. Vitreous • Vitreous hge • Vitreous detachment
