Abstract :

The eye, as a highly differentiated part of the Central Nervous System is located in the orbit. Prone to many injuries, most of which are irreversible regarding the function. Therefore, ocular traumas represent a frequent cause of unilateral blindness in patients. Materials and methods: The study includes all the patients with perforating eye injuries treated in the Eye Clinic during 2010-2014. All the patients were admitted as urgent cases and all of them were treated surgically or with medications. We have grouped these injuries in two main categories: 1.Perforating injuries with intra-orbital foreign body; 2. Perforating injuries without intra-orbital foreign body. During 2010-2014, 290 cases with perforating eye injuries were treated surgically in the Eye Clinic. Out of 290 cases, 242 were treated surgically with general anesthesia and 48 with local anesthesia. In this presentation is included also a case report on the surgical treatment of a 14 year-old patient, with a perforating eye-injury with a metal nail. Purpose: The main purpose is to close the wound precisely and to reconstruct the normal anatomic shape of the eye. The surgery includes the reconstruction of the anterior chamber of the eyeball and its filling with physiological solution. If the iris is prolapsed, the excision of the prolapsed part is performed in order to maintain the function of the iris. Conclusions: After the ophthalmologic examination, the patient is referred for a RTG of the orbit and the eye bulb in search for any intra-orbital metallic foreign bodies. The non-metallic foreign bodies are diagnosed using the bio-microscope, ophthalmoscope, MR etc. The further treatment includes the treatment with antibiotics and the anti-tetanus vaccination. Key words: injuries, perforating, foreign bodies, surgical treatment
