Treatment of Penetrating Injury




Exclude life threatening injuries
CT to find any IOFB
Repair lids
Repair globe




Restore normal anatomy
Remove any tissue protruding from the wound
+/- lens removal
+/- vitrectomy
Fundus Trauma
Mechanisms of injury


Direct via sclera
Via vitreous
Shearing via globe deformation

Contrecoup



Injury occurs at interface with greatest density difference - at
lens and photoreceptor I/faces
Commotio retinae - damage to photoreceptors



May be permanent vision loss
RPE may be hyperpigmented or atrophic
No intra- or extracellular oedema or FFA leakage
5 types of retinal breaks
Dialysis
 Horseshoe
 Operculated hole
 Macular hole
 Necrosis of retina

QuickTime™ and a
decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Retinal dialysis







Superonasal or inferotemporal
Smooth, thin and transparent
Commonly have cysts, 1/2 have demarcation lines
May be associated with avulsion of vitreous base
PVR is rare
Should have cryo or laser, good reponse to buckling
Detachments can present later


10% immediately, 30% 1 month, 50% 8 months, 80% 2
years
Vitreous tamponades until starts to liquify
Other holes
Treat if detached
 Treat macular holes


Retinal necrosis usually associated with
choroid injury so tends to scar
Choroidal rupture
Bruch’s membrane often tears
 At point of contact or at posterior pole
 Clinically looks like subretinal hx

May dissect into vitreous
 Becomes white crescent-shaped area with
RPE atrophy


Should follow pt for risk of CNV
Scleral injury

Scleroptia


Scleral rupture



claw-like fibroglial scar assoc with indirect concussive injury
Suspect if APD, poor motility, marked chemosis, vitreous hx
Also, deep ac, low IOP (though can be normal)
Common sites

Limbus, beneath recti, surgical scars
Is the globe open?
Poor VA
 Haemorrhagic chemosis
 IOP<5mmHg
 Abnormally shallow or deep ac
 Pupil peaking
 Choroidal detacjment
 Vitreous hx

Ruptured globe

1st exam may be only opportunity


Poor VA, APD, wound>10mm, wound extending behind
recti, vitreous hx
Goals of management
1.
2.
3.
Identify extent - 360˚ peritomy
Rule out FB - consider CT
Close wound with limited reconstruction
•
4.
5.
Reposit uvea, cut vitreous
Infection prophylaxis - IV
Protect the other eye
•
Injury and sympathetic
Preoperative management

Protect globe


Prevent infection



Shield
Drops + systemic
Tetanus
May consider leaving small (<2mm) self-sealing
wounds in cooperative adults


Seal - patch, CL, tissue adhesives
Infection - abx
Prep for surgery

can wait until next day unless:

IOFB




If <24h, remove ASAP
VR consult if





post IOFBs
Endophthalmitis
Ret det
Inexperienced surgeon
Anaesthesia



10% risk of endophthalmitis
Inert mat’ls may be tolerated, esp if present 7al days
GA
Succinylcholine causes prolonged spasm of EOM
Consent for enucleation?
Foreign bodies

Detection
Indirect is best method
 CT next best, including plastic and glass
 MRI better for organic
 US supplements CT and gives info on
retina
 Plain films if no CT

Foreign bodies
Immediate removal if endophthalmitis or
toxic material
 Toxicity related to redox potential

Cu (chalcosis) and Fe (siderosis) have low
potential and dissolve
 Pure>alloy
 Other metals, nonmetallic substances tend
to be inert

Wound repair

Principles


Prep normally with no pressure on globe
Evaluate extent



Try and restore normal anatomy
Watertight closure


If beyond limbus - peritomy
Bury knots
Then



remove IOFB
treat endophthalmitis
manage lens and post segment trauma
Further management

Vision/scar





Retina


Contact lenses
Remove selected sutures at 1 month
Amblyopia in children
PK - await at least 6 months
7-14d later
Sympathetic ophthalmia




0.19%
5d to decades later, mostly 2/52 to 1 yr
Warn patient about symptoms
If severe and NPL, consider removal within 2/52
Post-operative management







Control infection, inflammation, IOP
Minimise scarring
Admit
Shield
Abx
 Oral ciprofloxacin
 Topical
Steroid - topical or systemic if severe inflammation
Cycloplegics
Siderosis bulbi

Tends to deposit in epithelial tissues
Iris - heterochromia, mid-dilated, poorlyreactive pupil
 Lens - brown dots and cortical yellowing
 Retina -pigmentary degeneration + bv
sclerosis
 ERG - flat within 100 days


Used to monitor
QuickTime™ and a
decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Chalcosis


<85% pure - chalcosis, >85% - sterile
endophthalmitis
Copper deposits in basement membranes





DM - Kayser-Fleischer ring
Iris - sluggish, greenish hue
ac capsule - sunflower cataract
Vireous opacification
ERG like siderosis

Improves if Cu removed

decompressor

Post traumatic endophthalmitis


7% of cases
Skin flora most likely cause


Consider Bacillus cereus if any soil


S aureus
8-25%
Prophylactic antibiotics


Consider intravitreal if heavily contaminated
IV for 3-5d post-op


Traumatic infection not covered by EVS
Topical also
Sympathetic ophthalmia




<0.5% of penetrating injury
Bilateral granulomatous uveitis
ac inflammation, multiple yellow spots in peripheral fundus
Complications

Cataract, glaucoma, optic atrophy, exudative detachments,
subretinal fibrosis

80% within 3 months, 90% within 1 year

Systemic immunosuppression
Mostly good prognosis >6/18
However, enucleate only if no visual potential


Other trauma
Purtscher’s retinopathy
 Abuse - shaken baby syndrome

40% of abused children have ocular
findings
 Ophthalmologist 1st to find in 6%

Commotio
 Optic Neuropathy

Chemical Injury
Assessment

History
Type of chemical
 Alkali/acid


Examination

Four grades
I - IV
 Based on corneal clarity
 Clear - cloudy = good - poor prognosis

Grade I
QuickTime™ and a
decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
•
•
Clear cornea
Limbal ischaemia - nil
Grade II
•
Cornea hazy but visible
iris details
•
Limbal ischaemia < 1/3
Grade III
•
No iris details
•
Limbal ischaemia - 1/3 to 1/2
Grade IV
•
Opaque cornea
•
Limbal ischaemia > 1/2
Medical Treatment of Severe Injuries
1. Copious irrigation ( 15-30 min )
•
to restore normal pH
2. Topical steroids ( first 7-10 days )
•
to reduce inflammation
3. Topical and systemic ascorbic acid
•
to enhance collagen production
4. Topical citric acid
•
to inhibit neutrophil activity
5. Topical and systemic tetracycline
•
to inhibit collagenase and neutrophil activity
• Nexagon
Complications
Symblepharon
lid deformities
Keratoprosthesis
