“…We were therefore unable to grade the severity of the injury according to the Ocular Trauma Classification Group (OTCG) terminology 14 and instead we used the simpler classification of Kuhn et al 10 Children with OGI had significantly more lens injury than those with CGI (64.3 vs 6.1%, Po0.0001). This may suggest that OGI is more likely to cause damage to the lens or zonules, but in this selected series may also imply that lens injury after OGI is more likely to require vitreoretinal management than after CGI.…”

Aim In adults modern vitreoretinal surgery allows many traumatised eyes to be salvaged. However, one third of serious eye injuries occur in the paediatric age group and trauma is a leading cause of monocular blindness in childhood. This study aims to report the indications, complications and outcomes for vitreoretinal surgical intervention after childhood ocular trauma. Methods Retrospective case note review of 61 children (age 16 years or less) undergoing vitreoretinal surgical procedures following ocular trauma at a tertiary referral centre. Results Twenty-eight children (45.9%) had open globe injuries (OGI) and 33 closed globe injuries (CGI, 54.1%). The mean age of children with OGI was 9.5 years and with CGI 12.3 years (P ¼ 0.0068). Forty-seven children had traumatic retinal detachments (77.1%), which in 17 cases were treated with conventional scleral buckling surgery and in 30 by vitrectomy. Retinal re-attachment was achieved after one procedure in 70.6% with scleral buckling and 46.7% with vitrectomy.

“…Penetrating eye injuries were defined according to the Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology system of Kuhn et al 15 The location and severity of the injury were assessed pursuant to the Ocular Trauma Classification Group guidelines. 16 In addition, we distinguished between central and peripheral corneal lacerations as we have previously observed a difference in terms of the visual outcome (personal experience).…”

“…A classificação proposta por Pieramici et al 7 foi utilizada pois sua finalidade é uniformizar a linguagem e as classificações permitindo assim a comparação dos dados entre os diferentes centros de pesquisa. Foram excluídos deste estudo os pacientes que apresentavam como classificação tipo B, C e D (laceração, corpo estranho e associação respectivamente) pois estes tipos apresentam repercussões e prognósticos diferentes dos traumatismos fechados com contusão.…”

“…Os pacientes foram classificados de acordo com o proposto por Pieramici et al 7 : grau 1, 2, 3, 4 ou 5 de acordo com acuidade visual e zona I, II ou III, de acordo com a região mais posterior do olho acometida (Quadro 1). O hifema foi classificado em graus de forma quantitativa 8 e a recessão angular em graus de acordo a extensão.…”

Epidemiologic aspects of closed-globe traumaDepartamento de Oftalmologia da Universidade Federal de São Paulo -Escola Paulista de Medicina (UNIFESP-EPM).(1) Pós-graduanda -nível doutorado do Departamento de Oftalmologia da UNIFESP-EPM. O estudo epidemiológico do trauma ocular tem importância a medida que permite uma ação preventiva mais eficaz. A função do oftalmologista vai além de diagnosticar e tratar as doenças oculares e assume papel importante no estudo das causas e circunstâncias que levam a redução da capacidade visual por fatores que podem ser prevenidos 1 .O traumatismo ocular contuso é mais freqüente no adulto jovem e sexo masculino, na proporção de 4:1, em relação ao sexo feminino 2-3 .Atinge igualmente a raça branca e negra, no entanto a raça negra apresenta lesões mais graves que levam a cegueira 4 .Descritores: Traumatismos oculares/epidemiologia.
