Abstract

BACKGROUND We aimed to review the epidemiology and visual outcome of patients with open globe injuries in the northwest part of Turkey. METHODS All patients admitted to the Department of Ophthalmology, Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine with open globe injuries between 2004-2008 were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS Ninety-five eyes of 95 patients, aged between 3 and 79 years, were reviewed. The type of open eye injury was laceration in 76 eyes (80%) and rupture in 19 eyes (20%). In all age groups, projectile objects were the most common cause of injury. In patients 18 years and older, sharp objects (11.1%) were the least prevalent cause of open globe injuries; however, traumas with sharp objects were common in patients younger than 18 years (38.1%) (p=0.01). In patients younger than 18 years, most injuries occurred at home (68.3%), while in patients 18 years and older, the majority of ocular traumas occurred at work (59.2%) (p=0.000). Isolated Zone I lesions showed more improvement in visual acuity than other zones (p=0.043). CONCLUSION Open globe injury in northwest Turkey varied with age and gender. Education and safety precautions are essential to prevent open eye injuries.

Özet

AMAÇ Türkiye’nin kuzeybatı bölgesinde, açık göz yaralanmaları nedeni ile tedavi edilen hastaların epidemiyolojisi ve görme sonuçları değerlendirildi. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM 2004 ve 2008 yılları arasında Kocaeli Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Göz Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalın’da açık göz yaralanması nedeni ile tedavi edilen tüm hastalar retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. BULGULAR Yaşları 3 ile 79 arasında değişen, 95 hastanın 95 gözüne ait yaralanmalar değerlendirildi. Açık göz yaralanması tipi, 76 gözde (%80), laserasyon, 19 gözde (%20) ise yırtık idi. Sıçrayıcı cisimlerin neden olduğu göz yaralanmaları, tüm yaş gruplarında en sık görülen nedendi. Keskin cisimler 18 yaş ve üzerindeki hastalarda açık göz yaralanmalarının en az görülen nedeni iken (%11), 18 yaştan genç hastalarda, en sık görülen nedendi (%38,1) (p=0,01). On sekiz yaşından genç hastalarda yaralanmaların %68,3’ü evde gerçekleşirken, 18 yaş ve üzerindeki hastalarda yaralanamaların %59,2’sinin işyerinde gerçekleştiği belirlendi (p=0,000). Görme keskinliğindeki düzelmenin, izole zon 1 yaralanmalarında, diğer zon yaralanmalarına göre daha iyi olduğu görüldü (p=0,043). SONUÇ Türkiye’nin kuzeybatısında açık göz yaralanmaları, yaş ve cinsiyete göre değişmektedir. Eğitim ve güvenlik önlemleri, açık göz yaralanmalarının önlenmesinde önemlidir.
