Abstract

Ocular surface chemical injuries are the eye emergencies which can cause visual loss and even the loss of the eye. The damaging chemical’s pH, the contact area and duration, and the degree of penetration are very important parameters in predicting the level of the exposure of the ocular surface. The most severe chemical injuries are caused by strong alkalis and then acids. Because of denaturation and precipitation of the proteins the damaging effects of acids are limited in tissue. In strong alkali injuries, the cell membrane fatty acids become saponifi- cated, inflammatory process is engaged and cell destruction is occured. Alkali injuries are emergencies which need to be treated without delay because of their rapid progression and re- covery with early treatment. The timing and importance of the medical and surgical treatment of the ocular surface alkali burn in a case with was discussed in this article.

Özet

Oküler yüzeyin kimyasal travmaları görme kaybı ve hatta gözün kaybına sebep olabilen acil bir göz hastalığıdır. Hasar veren kimyasalın pH derecesi, temas bölgesi, süresi ve penet- rasyon derecesi göz yüzeyinin etkilenme seviyesini öngörmede oldukça önemli parametreler- dir. En şiddetli kimyasal yaralanmalara kuvvetli alkaliler ve ardından asitler sebep olur. Asitlerin dokuda, protein denatürasyonu ve çökelmesine neden olması sebebiyle hasar verici etkileri sınırlıdır. Kuvvetli alkali yaralanmalarda ise hücre zarındaki yağ asitleri sabunlaşır, enflamatuvar süreç devreye girer ve hücre yıkımı gerçekleşir. Alkali yaralanmalar, hızlı ilerle- meleri ve erken tedaviye çabuk cevap vermeleri nedeniyle, zaman kaybetmeden tedavi edilme- si gereken acil durumlardır. Bu yazıda ciddi oküler yüzey alkali yanıklı bir olguda, tıbbi ve cer- rahi tedavinin zamanlaması ve önemi tartışılmıştır.
