“…Stone thrown as a missile during play was also a common harming agent (18.1%) in northern Jordan [19]. The availability of stones in playgrounds, residential yards or even in the African street, as well as dry plant stems or sticks, would facilitate children's use of these objects, as confirmed by certain African studies [17,18,30]. However, we note certain differences with certain African studies such as that of Koki, et al, in Cameroon where the most common harmful agent found was punch with 21.39% of cases [31].…”

Background: Eye trauma is serious and very often has a poor prognosis in our environment. The aim of this study was to contribute to improving the prevention of ocular trauma in children and adolescents in central and northern Côte d’Ivoire. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a descriptive aim on 200 patient files received at the pediatric ophthalmology unit of the ophthalmology department of the Bouaké University Hospital from January 6, 2021, to July 7, 2023. In these patients, the questioning and clinical examination revealed ocular lesions linked to trauma. The parameters studied were socio-demographic characteristics (age, sex, origin, educational status), reason for consultation, ophthalmological history and etiological factors (circumstances of occurrence, vulnerating agent and mechanism of occurrence). Data analysis was carried out using epi-info 7.0 software. Findings: The average age of the patients was 8.45 ± 4.62 years with a range of 1 to 19 years. Boys were the most affected (71%) and this male predominance was found in all age groups. The 5-9-year-old age group was the most represented (31%). Children in primary school were the most numerous (40%), followed by those in secondary school (26%) and those not in school (25%). Almost all the children came from urban areas (75%). Ocular trauma was the main reason for consultation (75%) and the most common ophthalmological history (80%). The circumstances of occurrence were dominated by gaming accidents (48.50%), domestic accidents (19.50%) and brawls (15.50%). The most common damaging agent found was metallic (25%) followed by the stone used as a projectile (18.50%) and the punch (17%). The mechanism of trauma was dominated by the reception of a moving object or liquid on the eye (96%). Conclusion: Given the high proportion of school boys who are victims of eye trauma, school programs should include raising awareness among children at school about the risks of accidents and in particular eye trauma and the means of preventing them. Action should also be taken in rural areas and through the Chamber of Trades of Côte d’Ivoire with a view to preventing eye trauma in children and adolescents in farming activities and in craft workshops where those are often in apprenticeship.

“…Le lieu du traumatisme était essentiellement à domicile, les espaces de jeu pour enfants ou dans la rue.On voit ainsi que la surveillance des parents est fréquemment mise en défaut (Graphique 1). [10].L'incidence annuelle des traumatismes oculaires sévères chez l'enfant serait de 1,5 à 2 cas pour 100 000 habitants dans les pays développés.À travers de nombreuses études internationales, plusieurs circonstances communes ont pu être identifiées [10 ;11] : moyenne d'âge de 6 ans, prédominance masculine, majorité d'accidents de jeux [12], au domicile le plus souvent [12], atteinte cornéenne la plus fréquente [13], l'âge inférieur à 6 ans étant un facteur de mauvais pronostic.…”

“…[16], Hubault et al [14]. À cet âge, les enfants sont plus exposés car ils échappent quelque peu à l'autorité parentale pour les activités scolaires, sociales et sportives avec tous les risques possibles (accidents de circulation, de jeux, rixes…).Lescirconstances de traumatismes oculaires sont très variées prédominées par les accidents domestiques, l'objet contendant dans notre série est lejet de pierre, similaires aux données de la littérature africaine subsaharienne, Afrique du nord [13]. En effet, dans la plupart des pays développés : les jouets (ou objets détournés) projetés (par la victime elle-même ou un autre enfant) [17] viennent généralementen tête,confirmée par Rossaza et al [15] et La GouttE [18]…”

Ocular trauma in children is a common cause of ocularmorbiditydespite introduction of new methods of treatment and improvement of management, and is a leading cause of non-congenitalunilateralblindness in thisage group [1,2] . Children are atrisk of ocular trauma because of theirinability to avoidhazards [3]. Most of thesehazards are foundwhile children play, or are at home. Identifying the causes of ocular injuries may help in determining the effective methods in reducing the incidence of seriousocular traumas. The purpose of this study is to analyze the differentepidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of this affection in order to establishbetter management. This isaretrospective study of 153 patients withcomplicatedocular trauma, admitted to the OphthalmologyDepartment of the RabatUniversityHospital over a period of 36months. The averageage of the children was5,8years (3-15 years) with male predominance (sex ratio=2,1). The dominant mechanismwasdomestic accidents, especiallyby projection of bluntobjects (59,5% of cases). Ophthalmologicalexaminationfound initial visualacuitylessthan 5/10 in84,3% of cases. The lesions of the anterior segment dominated by hyphema (60,1%),subconjunctivalhemorrhage(56,9%), corneal abrasion (48,4%), high ocular pressure (34,6%) and posttraumaticcataract (33,3%). Posterior segment injurywasassociatedin 27.4% of cases . If not managedsufficientlyearly and appropriate, theselesionsmay cause definitive partial loss of vision or blindness . The establishment of effective awareness and prevention programs is essential to reducetheirfrequency and severity.
