Predictors of Scleral Rupture and the Role of Vitrectomy in Severe Blunt Ocular Trauma

Open globe injury (OGI) is a severe form of eye trauma. It is an important cause of monocular blindness worldwide. Ruptures from blunt trauma are most common at the sites where the sclera is thinnest, at the insertions of the extraocular muscles, and at the limbus. Most often, rupture is equatorial. We present a unique case of open globe injury due to blunt ocular trauma from a thrown rock that resulted in a meridional rupture of the eye. The pertinent literature is reviewed.

Tertiary Care Setting

We sought to evaluate the role and diagnostic potential of ocular B-scan ultrasonography in childhood eye disease in an observational cross-sectional study; 1091 patients with a total of 1445 eyes examined were studied. Cataract was the single most common indication for ultrasound followed by corneal pathology, ocular trauma, posterior segment pathology, primary congenital glaucoma, leukocoria, orbital pathology and other disease. Ultrasonography resulted in a change in diagnosis in 198 cases (18%). We conclude that B-scan ultrasonography plays an important adjunctive role in the management of childhood eye disease.

Blunt Ocular Trauma

We present a case of a patient who underwent ultrasound evaluation for potential blunt ocular trauma. She was found to have multiple, freely mobile, scintillating hyperechoic opacities within the vitreous that was diagnosed as asteroid hyalosis, a rare but benign condition easily confused with vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, lens dislocation, or foreign body on ocular ultrasound.
