A ruptured globe occurs when rapid intraocular pressure elevation secondary to blunt trauma results in eyewall failure. [3] The rupture site may be at the point of impact but more commonly occurs at the weakest and thinnest areas of the sclera. [4] Regions prone to rupture are the rectus muscle insertion points, optic nerve insertion point ...
Treatment of closed globe trauma begins with the division of the eye into zones, each with unique anatomical structures and injury patterns: Zone I: the conjunctiva and corneal surface; the most common injuries seen in this zone are foreign debris retention by the conjunctiva or corneal epithelium/stroma, as well as corneal abrasions.
Eye injury. Eye injury. A small piece of iron has lodged in the margin of the cornea. Specialty. Ophthalmology, neurology. Physical or chemical injuries of the eye can be a serious threat to vision if not treated appropriately and in a timely fashion. The most obvious presentation of ocular (eye) injuries is redness and pain of the affected eyes.
floaters, photophobia. Complications. uveitis, blindness. Sympathetic ophthalmia (SO), also called spared eye injury, is a diffuse granulomatous inflammation of the uveal layer of both eyes following trauma to one eye. It can leave the affected person completely blind. Symptoms may develop from days to several years after a penetrating eye injury.
ICD-9-CM. 16.4. MeSH. D015353. [edit on Wikidata] Enucleation is the removal of the eye that leaves the eye muscles and remaining orbital contents intact. This type of ocular surgery is indicated for a number of ocular tumors, in eyes that have sustained severe trauma, and in eyes that are otherwise blind and painful. [1]
Canthotomy (also called lateral canthotomy and canthotomy with cantholysis) is a surgical procedure where the lateral canthus, or corner, of the eye is cut to relieve the fluid pressure inside or behind the eye, known as intraocular pressure (IOC). [1] The procedure is typically done in emergency situations when the intraocular pressure becomes ...
Specialty. Ophthalmology. Intraocular hemorrhage (sometimes called hemophthalmos or hemophthalmia) is bleeding inside the eye (oculus in Latin). Bleeding can occur from any structure of the eye where there is vasculature or blood flow, including the anterior chamber, vitreous cavity, retina, choroid, suprachoroidal space, or optic disc.
Seidel test. The Seidel test is used to assess the presence of aqueous humor leakage from anterior chamber of the eye. [1] Leakage may occur due to many corneal or scleral disorders, including corneal post-trauma, post-surgical leak, corneal perforation and corneal degeneration. [1] Initially the test was used to detect aqueous humor leakage in ...
