Abstract

BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate the etiological and demographic characteristics of open globe injuries in geriatric patients, to determine the factors affecting the prognosis and to discuss the differences between geriatric and young populations in light of the current literature. METHODS The medical files of 30 patients aged 65 years and older who were treated and followed up for open globe injuries between 1998 and 2009 were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS The mean age was 73.1 years. Sixty percent of the patients were male, with a predominance of left eye involvement. The most common type of trauma was rupture due to a blunt object. The presenting visual acuity was no light perception in 13 patients, light perception/hand movement in 15 patients and 1/200-19/200 in 2 patients. In a univariate analysis assessing the effects of demographic and clinical characteristics on final vision, the wound location, type of trauma and Ocular Trauma Score were found to be statistically significant variations. CONCLUSION The prognosis of open globe injuries is very poor in geriatric patients. Age-related structural changes and previous history of surgeries contribute to easy development of a rupture. During the treatment process, limited recovery capacity, ocular pathology in patients and low functional capacity in this age group exert negative effects on the prognosis.

Özet

AMAÇ Açık göz küresi yaralanması olan geriatrik hastaların demografik ve etyolojik özelliklerini değerlendirmeyi, prognozu etkileyen faktörleri tespit etmeyi ve güncel literatür eşliğinde genç nüfusla farklılıkları karşılaştırmayı amaçladık. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Açık göz küresi yaralanması nedeniyle 1998-2009 yılları arasında tedavisi ve takibi yapılan 65 yaş üzerinde 30 hastanın dosyaları geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. BULGULAR Ortalama yaş 73,1 yıl idi. Hastaların %60?ı erkekti ve en fazla sol göz tutulumu vardı. En sık rastlanan travma tipi künt nesnelerle oluşan yırtılma idi. Hastaların başvuru anındaki görme keskinlikleri 13 hastada ışık hissi yokken, 15 hastada ışık hissi/el hareketleri, 2 hastada 1/200-19/200 düzeyindeydi. Demografik ve klinik karakteristiklerin final görme keskinliği üzerine etkisinin değerlendirildiği tek değişkenli analizde yara yeri, travma tipi ve oküler travma skoru istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değişkenlerdi. SONUÇ Açık göz küresi yaralanmalarının prognozu geriatrik hastalarda oldukça kötüdür. Yaşa bağlı gelişen yapısal değişiklikler, geçirilmiş cerrahiler daha kolay yırtık gelişimine neden olmaktadır. Tedavi sürecinde iyileşme kapasitesinin sınırlı olması, hastaların beraberlerinde bulunan göz patolojileri ve fonksiyonel kapasitenin bu yaş grubunda düşük olması prognozu kötü yönde etkilemektedir.
