Abstract

A 21-year-old male patient presented to our hospital with a blunt paintball trauma to his left eye. The patient had corneal edema, traumatic cataract, traumatic mydriasis, and secondary glaucoma in his left eye. After corneal edema resolved, cataract surgery was performed. Because of uncontrolled intraocular pressure despite antiglaucoma medications, an Ahmed glaucoma valve was implanted. In the postoperative period, the patient’s visual acuity was 1/10. Paintball-related ocular injuries can be severe and visually devastating.

Özet

Sol gözüne paintball mermisi isabet eden hasta travma sonrası hastanemize başvurdu. Yirmibir yaşındaki erkek hastanın sol gözünde korneal ödem, travmatik katarakt, travmatik midriyazis ve sekonder glokom mevcuttu. Kornea ödemi düzeldikten sonra lensektomi uygulandı. Ameliyat sonrası dönemde tıbbi tedaviye cevap vermeyen göz içi basıncı yüksekliği olması üzerine Ahmed glokom valvi implante edildi. Hastanın görme keskinliği ameliyat sonrası afak tashihle 1/10 düzeyindeydi. Paintball mermisine bağlı künt göz travmaları ciddi görme kaybıyla sonuçlanabilir.
