“…Most of the trauma in our study occurred unilaterally and mostly in the left eye in 50.50% of cases. Unilateral impairment in eye trauma is recognized by several authors such as Kaya, et al [14], Beby, et al [15] and Skiker, et al [16], on the other hand, the right or left laterality does not seem to have a consensus. According to the BETT, in our study, trauma was mostly closed globe (91.67%).…”

Background: What is the impact of the exponential increase in the car fleet in cities?Aim: To describe the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and prognostic features of ocular trauma in Kara. Materials and methods:We conducted a retrospective and descriptive study from January 1 st , 2017, to December 31 st , 2020, a period of 4 years. Mechanical traumas were classified according to the Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology (BETT), and prognosis was assessed according to the Ocular Trauma Score (OTS).Results: During the study period, 418 cases of ocular trauma were recorded, out of a total of 14652 consultations, corresponding to a frequency of 2.8%. The mean age was 28.5 ± 15.6 [1.92] years with a sex ratio of 2.22 (288M/130 F). In 5.5% of cases, patients consulted within 6 hours of trauma, and in 66.7% of cases, the delay of consultation time was more than 72 hours. The injury was bilateral in 11.5% of cases. Mechanical trauma accounted for 379 cases (90.7%), chemical burns 20 cases (4.8%) and thermal burns 19 cases (4.5%). Of the 379 cases of mechanical trauma, 342 cases (90.2%) were closed globe trauma, and 37 cases (9.8%) were open globe trauma. The circumstances of injury were domestic accidents with 115 cases (27.5%) followed by road accidents with 115 cases (25.1%), work accidents and brawls in equal proportion with 65 cases (15.6%), According to the OTS score, 345 cases (82.5%) had a score of 5, there were 35 cases (8.4%) with a score of 4, the score of 3 were found in 3 patients(6.2%) and the score of 2 and 1 were found in 6 patients each (1.4%). Treatment was surgical in 8.9% of cases and medical in 91.1% of cases. Conclusion:Ocular trauma is relatively common, better awareness will reduce consultation delays and improve prognosis. The best treatment remains prevention.

“…In our study, eyelid wounds represented 0.1% of all ocular pathologies and 11.75% of ocular trauma, a high frequency compared to Kaya's study which Open Journal of Ophthalmology reported a frequency of 1.0% ± 0.1%. of all trauma patients at the Brazzaville University Hospital Center [3]. Berete [4] found in his study carried out in Treichville on oculopalpebral trauma an incidence of 36 cases in 7 years.…”

Purpose: The aim is to show epidemiological, clinical and etiological characteristics of palpebral wounds. Methodology: This was a retrospective study focusing on patients with an eyelid wound, over a 10-year period from 2012 to 2021. We collected and analyzed the data using Excel. Results: The frequency of eyelid wounds was 0.1%. The average age of our patients was 19.38 years with a range of 1 and 62 years. The sex ratio was 3.7. Eighty-one percent of patients lived in Dakar. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of patients consulted less than 24 hours after the trauma and 7% of patients on D1. The circumstances were brawls (11%), domestic accidents (9%), road accidents (6%), and work accidents (6%). We noted 1 case of dog bite. Thirteen patients presented with post-traumatic decreased visual acuity. Involvement of the isolated upper eyelid was noted in 40% of cases and both eyelids in 15% of cases. Involvement of the lacrimal ducts was noted in 17% of cases, and that of the free edge in 21% of cases. Eyelid wounds were associated with eyeball damage in 21% of cases. Various associated lesions were observed. Ninety-one percent of patients received surgical treatment. Three cases of superinfections, 1 case of conjunctival granuloma and 1 case of phthysis of the eyeball with postoperative retinal detachment were noted. Conclusion: Eyelid sores are relatively common in our context. They require rapid surgical treatment in order to preserve the functional and aesthetic prognosis.
