Fulltext Perforating eye injuries due to intraocular foreign bodies

Lai YK, Moussa M

Med J Malaysia, 1992 Sep;47(3):212-9.

PMID: 1491647

The results of sixty-four perforating eye injuries with intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB) treated at University Hospital over ten years were reported. Compared to an earlier report we found that the population at risk was the same and consisted of patients under 35 years (70%), males (95.3%) and work related (86%). The commonest causes of IOFB were hand hammer (64.1%) and grass cutting (20.3%). We also noted that while the incidence of cases had increased by 23%, the final visual outcome has improved significantly due to advances in preoperative diagnosis and surgical techniques. Preoperative factors found to have a statistically significant effect on the final visual outcome were the size of the IOFB, poor initial visual acuity, and the presence of the following complications: cataract, iris damage and vitreous haemorrhage. The outcome was also worse in posterior segment IOFBs but this was not statistically significant.

Giant retinal tears

Shunmugam M, Ang GS, Lois N

Surv Ophthalmol, 2014 Mar-Apr;59(2):192-216.

PMID: 24138895 DOI: 10.1016/j.survophthal.2013.03.006

A giant retinal tear (GRT) is a full-thickness neurosensory retinal break that extends circumferentially around the retina for three or more clock hours in the presence of a posteriorly detached vitreous. Its incidence in large population-based studies has been estimated as 1.5% of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments, with a significant male preponderance, and bilaterality in 12.8%. Most GRTs are idiopathic, with trauma, hereditary vitreoretinopathies and high myopia each being causative in decreasing frequency. The vast majority of GRTs are currently managed with a pars plana vitrectomy; the use of adjunctive circumferential scleral buckling is debated, but no studies have shown a clear anatomical or visual advantage with its use. Similarly, silicone oil tamponade does not influence long-term outcomes when compared with gas. Primary and final retinal reattachment rates are achieved in 88% and 95% of patients, respectively. Even when the retina remains attached, however, visual recovery may be limited. Furthermore, fellow eyes of patients with a GRT are at higher risk of developing retinal tears and retinal detachment. Prophylactic treatment under these circumstances may be considered but there is no firm evidence of its efficacy at the present time.

Fulltext Pseudophacocoele following blunt ocular trauma

Aziz S, Asokumaran T, Intan G

Med J Malaysia, 2011 Mar;66(1):64-5.

PMID: 23765148 MyJurnal

Blunt ocular trauma may result in expulsion of the intraocular lens in a patient who has undergone cataract surgery. This case report describes a patient who presented with an extrusion of intraocular lens following blunt ocular trauma post-operatively. The authors emphasise the importance of patient counselling and protection of the operated eye after surgery.

We describe a case of extensive ocular injury secondary to an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette)-related explosion. The explosion was the result of modifications made to a heating element of the e-cigarette device by a non-professional. Extensive ocular injuries that result from an explosion of an e-cigarette device can potentially cause significant and permanent visual impairment.

Med J Malaysia, 2003 Aug;58(3):405-12.

PMID: 14750381

Between 1st January 1999 and 31st December 2000, 152 patients (156 eyes) with open-globe injuries were treated in the Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital Sultanah Aminah, Johor Bahru. The majority were male (88.2%), Malay (63.2%), from the Johor Bahru district (51.3%) and aged between 21 and 30 years (23.7%). Most injuries were workplace-related (41.4%). Lens injury, retinal detachment, endophthalmitis, intraocular foreign bodies and phthisis occurred in 40.4%, 15.4%, 14.7%, 12.2% and 11.5% of eyes respectively. A favourable visual outcome occurred in 55.4% of eyes. Prognostic factors for visual outcome include presenting visual acuity, relative afferent pupillary defect, wound location, lens injury, retinal detachment and endophthalmitis.

Cultivated oral mucosal epithelial transplantation (COMET) and penetrating keratoplasty in long-standing severe ocular surface injury

Lim IH, Alias R, Umapathy T, Samsudin A

Med J Malaysia, 2019 Oct;74(5):433-435.

PMID: 31649222

Ocular chemical injury is a true ophthalmic emergency requiring immediate medical intervention. Damages can be devastating and potentially resulting in blindness, corneal perforation and phthisis bulbi. We describe here a successful treatment outcome in a patient who sustained Roper-Hall Grade 4 injury to both eyes. Patient received medical therapy followed by serial ocular surgeries with eventual visual recovery in one eye from counting finger to 6/15 after a decade. In conclusion, after maximum medical therapy, a carefully planned serial surgeries of cultivated oral mucosal epithelial transplantation (COMET) and PK has proven beneficial for this patient with advanced limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD).

Determinant Factors of Poor Visual Outcome After Ocular Trauma: A Retrospective Study in Central Sarawak, Malaysia

Yong GY, Pan SW, Humayun Akhter F, Law TN, Toh TH

Asia Pac J Ophthalmol (Phila), 2016;5(2):137-42.

PMID: 26693590 DOI: 10.1097/APO.0000000000000150

PURPOSE: To study the demographic characteristics of ocular trauma in Central Sarawak and identify the determinant factors of poor visual outcome.

DESIGN: A retrospective study of ocular trauma cases presenting at the referral hospital in 2013.

METHODS: Patients were identified and recruited from hospital records. Those presenting for follow-up review were excluded. Case records were retrieved and reviewed after recruitment.

RESULTS: We studied 168 patients with 179 ocular injuries, of which 44% were work related. Compared with non-work-related cases, work-related cases were more likely to be male [odds ratio (OR), 19.7; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.6-150.9] and foreign (OR, 18.0; 95% CI, 2.3-142.0). Open globe injuries constituted a higher percentage of impaired visual acuity (VA) during the first visit: 84.6% compared with 18.1% for closed globe injuries (OR, 25.0; 95% CI, 5.3-118.4; P < 0.001). Of the open globe injuries, 61.5% worsened or showed no improvement in VA after 3 months compared with closed globe injuries (28.9%) (OR, 3.9; 95% CI, 1.2-12.7; P = 0.015). Of cases presenting 7 or more days after trauma, 76.9% worsened or showed no improvement in VA after 3 months compared with those presenting in less than 7 days (27.7%) (OR, 8.7; 95% CI, 2.3-33.0; P < 0.001). Among those with work-related injuries, 23.1% had used eye protective devices (EPDs).

CONCLUSIONS: Ocular injuries in Central Sarawak were predominantly work related, occurring at industrial premises, and involving males and foreigners. Both open globe injuries and a delay in seeking treatment resulted in significantly poorer visual outcomes.

Minimally invasive image-guided removal of retrobulbar intraconal foreign body

Surgical approaches are becoming increasingly minimally invasive, without compromising either safety or ease. Penetrating ocular foreign bodies has traditionally been approached either by intraocular or supraorbital access. We successfully attempted a minimally invasive approach to remove a retrobulbar foreign body under computer-assisted image guidance in a 19-year-old man involved in an industrial mishap.

PMID: 15190634

Between 1st January 1999 and 31st December 2000, 452 foreign nationals were treated at the Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital Sultanah Aminah, Johor Bahru. Eighty-five percent were male. The peak age range was from 21 to 30 years old. The patients were predominantly Indonesians (61%). A history of trauma was present in 63% of patients. Eight percent of eyes had severe visual impairment. Six patients (1.3%) were blind by WHO standards. Traumatic eye conditions, inflammatory/allergic eye conditions and degenerative eye conditions comprised 66%, 13% and 10% respectively of ocular pathology seen. The commonest ocular findings were corneal foreign body, corneal abrasion and subconjunctival haemorrhage.
