Abstract

Objective: To investigate eye trauma in Syrian civilians who were admitted to hospital due to injuries in Syrian civil war.Material and Methods: Two hundred seventy-seven eyes of 214 civil patients, who admitted to the hospital of Mustafa Kemal University, Faculty of Medicine between May 2012 - December 2012, were included in this prospective, cross-sectional study.Results: The mean age of the patients was 27.35 ± 10.99 years (2 – 50). 95.8%of them were male and 4.2%of them were female. Of the patients, 36%were worker and 21%were student. Admission to hospital was within 24 hours after injury in 28%and between 1-3 days in 48%of the patients. The reason of the injury was shrapnel in 81.3%and bullet in 18.7%. The eye injuries were monocular in 70.6%and binocular in 29.4%. According to the type of injury, 59.9%were classified as closed globe trauma and 40.1%were classified as open globe trauma. In closed globe trauma cases, superficial foreign body was the diagnosis in 45.8%while 21.1%were diagnosed as mixed injuries. Zone 1 was affected in 45.2%and zone 2 was affected in 21.1%. Visual acuities were stage 1 in 38%and stage 2 in 25.3%. In open globe trauma cases, 35.1%were diagnosed as penetrating injuries and 27.9%were diagnosed as intraocular foreign body. Zone 3 was affected in 55%and zone 1 was affected in 27.9%. Visual acuities were stage 5 in 45%and stage 4 in 41.4%.Conclusion: Eye traumas which occur during the war particularly affects young male individuals and can lead to permanent visual loss.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Suriye iç savaşı nedeniyle yaralanan Suriyeli sivillerdeki göz yaralanmalarını araştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu ileriye dönük, kesitsel çalışmaya, Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi’ne Mayıs 2012 – Aralık 2012 tarihleri arasında başvuran, 214 Suriyeli sivilin 277 göz yaralanması dahil edildi.Bulgular: Göz yaralanması nedeniyle başvuran Suriyeli sivillerin yaş ortalaması 27.35 ± 10.99 yıldı (yaş aralığı: 2-50). Olguların %95.8’i erkek, %36’sı işçi, %21’i öğrenci idi. Hastaların %28’i ilk 24 saatte, %48.1’i 1-3. gün arasında başvuruda bulundu. Yaralanmaya neden olan cisim %81.3’ünde şarapnel, %18.7’sinde mermiydi. Olguların %70.6’sında tek gözde, %29.4’ünde çift gözde yaralanma mevcuttu. Yaralanma türü̈ bakımından %59.9’u kapalı, %40.1’i açık glob yaralanması idi. Kapalı glob yaralanması olgularının %45.8’inde oküler yüzeyde yabancı cisim, %21.1’inde mikst (karışık) yaralanma şeklinde mevcuttu. Bu olguların %45.2’sinde zon 1, %21.1’inde zon 2 tutulumu vardı. Bu olguların görme keskinliği %38’inde evre 1, %25.3’ünde evre 2 idi. Açık glob yaralanması olgularının %35.1’inde penetran yaralanma, %27.9’unda göz içi yabancı cisim mevcuttu. Bu olguların %55’inde zon 3, %27.9 zon 1 tutulumu vardı. Bu olguların görme keskinliği %45’inde evre 5, %41.4’ünde evre 4 idi. Sonuç: Savaşta oluşan göz yaralanmaları, özellikle genç erkek bireyleri etkileyen ve kalıcı görme kayıplarına neden olabilen yaralanmalardır.
