“…Nasrullah and Kerr 8 had a rate of 52% for projectile objects. Tongu et al 26 described domestic acidents (32.5%) as the main cause of trauma. Our studied population had low socioeconomic status, which could partially explain the difference in trauma etiology in relation to other studies.…”

“…The third most frequent type was contusion by blunt trauma, accounting for 9.1% of patients. Blunt trauma can occur in several situations: aggression, car accidents, sports, and work accidents (4) . In cases of blunt trauma due to car accidents, falls, or aggression, non-specialists should follow the standard ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support) assessment to discard the risk of imminent death and injuries to vital organs (11) ; subsequently, lesions to the orbit, eyelid, and eyeball should be investigated.…”

Métodos: Foram analisados 351 atendimentos no período de dezembro de 2010 a fevereiro de 2011, sendo que apenas nos casos de trauma ocular foram avaliados o sexo, idade, procedência, tipo de trauma e o tratamento realizado. Resultados: Foi realizada uma análise de 351 atendimentos de urgência deste serviço, onde foi encontrado um total de 153 traumas oculares (43,6%), com predominância em 131 casos (85,6%) do sexo masculino. A faixa etária mais acometida foi a de adultos jovens de 20 a 39 anos, em 90 casos (58,8%). Goiânia foi a procedência mais frequente em 89 casos (58,2%). O trauma mecânico fechado por corpo estranho superficial foi o tipo de trauma mais comum com 95 casos (66,4%). O tratamento clínico foi amplamente mais predominante em 149 casos (97%). Conclusão: Em relação aos traumas oftalmológicos predominaram os pacientes com corpos estranhos superficiais do sexo masculino, na faixa etária economicamente ativa procedente de Goiânia, com tratamento clínico, e direta relação com acidentes ocupacionais, merecendo atenção especial quanto à prevenção.

Purpose:To evaluate the evolution of the patients with hyphema resulting from blunt ocular trauma associated with initial and final visual acuity, elevated intraocular pressure, rebleeding, clot absorption and surgical intervention. Methods: Fifty-four patients aged more than fifteen years, with blunt ocular trauma attended on the Ophthalmology Emergency Room of São Paulo Hospital were studied, between December 2000 to January 2002. The hyphema was classified in to five groups: microscopic; grade I; grade II; grade III; and grade IV (total hyphema). The patients were divided into two groups according to the involvement or not of the posterior segment. The data were compared by MannWhitney and the exact Fisher test and the final visual acuity was evaluated by multiple linear regression. Results: Ninety-one percent of the patients were men with an average age of thirty two years. At admission, 37% of patients showed intraocular pressure more than 24 mmHg. During the evolution, six patients required surgical intervention. Rebleeding occurred in 8% of the cases. In Group 1 (no lesions in the posterior segment) a better finally V.A. was statistically significant (p<0.001), a fact not observed in Group 2 (p<0.4772). Conclusion: Hyphema classification allows to evaluate the severity of damages, prognosis and management. The treatment still remains controversial. The final low visual acuity occurs more commonly associated with posterior segment injuries, and V.A. on admission. The successful treatment depends on identification of risk factors, appropriate medications and precise surgery indication.
