  9. Differential Diagnosis

  10. Ophthalmology Consult • Corneal abrasion on left eye, 4mm long • Erythromycin ointment x 3 days • Follow up with ophthalmology in 1 week

  11. Ocular Trauma Ocular Trauma

  12. Ocular trauma • 1/3 of blindness in children results from trauma • Boys age 11-15 are most at risk (M:F = 4:1) • Sports, toy darts, sticks, stones, fireworks, paintballs, air-powered BB guns are common causes of trauma

  13. Outline • Review of Anatomy • History • Eye exam • Corneal Abrasions • Orbital fractures • Lacerations • Globe rupture • Retinal Detachment • Chemical Burns • Prevention

  14. Review of anatomy

  15. History • Mechanism of injury, events after injury • Onset/duration of symptoms • Preexisting eye disorders • Systemic disorders • Drug allergies • Contraindications to anesthesia • When patient last ate • Prior tetanus immunization

  16. Physical Exam • Observation/inspection with pen light • External examination: • Orbital bones: palpate orbital rim • Position of globes (exophthalmos or enophthalmos) • Mobility of globes: note pain, diplopia, limitation of ocular rotation, and abnormal movements (nystagmus) • Inspection of lids (Do NOT palpate if globe ruptured!) • Skin, conjunctival surfaces of lids should be inspected for foreign body or laceration • Palpate lid for crepitus

  17. Physical Exam • Pupil exam: • Size • Shape • Reaction to light • Look for corneal opacities or defects • Look for blood in anterior chamber • Look for lens opacification or dislocation • Iridodonesis is a moving/shaking iris, a sign of dislocation

  18. Examination of Visual Acuity in Children • Preverbal children • Allow child to reach for a small toy with one eye covered, then the other eye covered

  19. Examination of Visual Acuity in Children • Children 4-8 years old: • Eye chart with Pictures, tumbling E’s, numbers, or letters • 2 inch wide paper taped to brow to cover one eye • Test with corrective lenses in place if possible • Vision difference more important than absolute vision • Referral to ophthalmologist if both eyes in 5 year old are 20/50 or worse, or 20/60 or worse in 6 year old

  20. Examination Visual Acuity in Children • Children > 8 years old • Use standard Snellen Chart at 20 ft. • Most common ocular condition in this age group is myopia • blurred vision at distance • can develop over several months

  21. Fluorescein Staining • First use topical anesthetic drops (proparacaine) • Warn patients and parents of transient pain before anesthesia takes effect • Moisten a fluorescein strip, and touch to lower fornix • Or use fluorescein drops • Fluorescein stains tear film, washes away on intact epithelium and stains exposed corneal stroma • Yellow dye is visible in white light, but better under ultraviolet light (Wood Lamp) • Wood’s lamp is better tolerated if photophobia present

  22. Physical Exam--Slit Lamp Exam • Binocular microscope that allows the examiner to have a three-dimensional view of the eye • Beam of light (rather than diffuse light) can be adjusted by height and width • Provides 10-25 x magnification • Anterior segment of the eye: • lids, lashes, conjunctiva, cornea, • anterior chamber, iris, and lens • Ocular foreign body removal

  23. Physical Exam: Dilation • Perform after visual acuity tested and pupil exam • Perform only if patient is neurologically intact • Use Topical 2.5% phenylephrine plus 1-2 drops of 0.5% tropicamide • Wait 20 minutes • Complete the ophthalmoscopic exam • Dilation lasts 2-5 hours • (Atropine is contraindicated because dilation can last for days.)

  24. Corneal Abrasions: Corneal Anatomy • Avascular • Densely innervated • Sensory pain fibers from CN V • 5 layers: • Epithelium: outermost, 5-6 cell-thick • Cells quickly regenerate after injury • Boman’s layer: tough layer, protects • Stroma: thick layer composed of collagen fibrils aligned in parallel • Descemet’s membrane • Endothelium: if damaged will not regenerate

  25. Corneal Abrasions • Most common eye trauma • Symptoms: photophobia, tearing, intermittent sharp pain due to ciliary body spasm, foreign body sensation • PE: irritability, blurry vision, conjunctival injection, blepharospasm, irregular red reflex, dulled corneal light reflex, fluorescein staining of epithelial defect • Be sure to evert the lid to examine tarsus

  26. Lid Eversion

  27. Corneal Abrasions • Traumatic corneal abrasions: mechanical trauma to the eye, or foreign body under the lid • Foreign body related corneal abrasion: objects embedded in cornea • Contact lens related corneal abrasions: from over-worn, poorly fitting, dirty lens • Spontaneous defects: previous trauma

  28. Corneal Abrasions: Treatment • Remove foreign bodies with moist cotton swab or sterile needle (by ophthalmologist only) • Long-acting topical cycloplegic drop • Homatropine 5% • For pain relief caused by ciliary body spasm • Antibiotic ointment • Better than drops because it lubricates • Erythromycin • Aminoglycosides should be avoided since they can be toxic to the epithelium. • Drops with steroids are contraindicated; they slow epithelial healing and decrease immune response. • Semi-pressure patch • controlled studies have found that patching does not improve the rate of healing or comfort

  29. Corneal Abrasions: Follow Up • Small (<3 mm) abrasions with no change in vision do not need follow up • Except patients with contact lens related abrasions, where daily follow up recommended • Large abrasions (>3 mm), or any abrasion with diminished vision, need daily follow-up.

  30. Corneal Abrasion--Refer to Ophthalmologist when: • corneal infiltrate, white spot, or opacity • Refer same day • epithelial defect is larger at 24 hours, • purulent discharge present • Patient has experienced a drop in vision

  31. Orbital Fractures • Lateral Orbit fractures: zygomatic bone fracture • Cosmetic deformity, pain, difficulty opening mouth • Lateral canthus tendon inserts in the zygomatic, with fracture, the lateral canthus is inferiorly displaced • Orbital Apex fracture: • Can cause optic nerve compression, central retinal artery occlusion, retrobulbar hemorrhage • Blow-Out fracture: • Orbital floor and medial wall • Usually caused by blunt trauma with a large object

  32. Blow-Out fracture • Four signs: • Enophthalmos • Loss of sensation over malar eminence and cheek • Inability to look up on affected side • Diplopia on up-gaze • Positive traction test • Inability to rotate eye upward with forceps

  33. Blow-Out fracture: Management • Oral antibiotic prophylaxis x 5-7 days • Surgical correction 2-3 weeks later by otolaryngologist

  34. Complicated Lid Lacerations • Lid Margin lacerations: must be aligned properly to avoid lash inversion, damaging the cornea • Medial canthus lacerations: • May go through canaliculi • Cause persistant tearing • Canaliculi must be reattached

  35. Traumatic Hyphema • Blood in anterior chamber secondary to trauma • (Spontaneous Hemorrhage can occur secondary to juvenile xanthogranuloma) • Vision impaired until blood settles and forms a red meniscus • 20% of patients re-bleed • “Blackball hyphema” • Usually occurs at 3-5 days after initial injury • Occurs from lysis of clot • Recurrence of bleeding is more severe; possibly causing glaucoma, hemophthalmitis

  36. Black ball Hyphema

  37. Primary Hyphema: Management • Bed rest, elevation of the head • Eye Shield • Cycloplegia • Topical Steroids • Systemic antifibrinolytics • Aminocaproic acid: in your healthy patients • Measurement and control of intraocular pressure • Screen all black patients with hemoglobin electrophoresis • Secondary glaucoma is more likely with SS or trait

  38. Open Globe Injuries • Blunt trauma: globe rupture, most common site is near the insertion of the rectus muscles in the sclera • Penetrating trauma: laceration to the globe, most common in the cornea

  39. Open globe Injuries • Avoid any examination procedure that might apply pressure to the eyeball • For young children, an examination facilitated by procedural sedation or anesthesia should be performed by an ophthalmologist • Avoid medication (anesthetic drops or fluorescein) into the eye. • Foreign bodies should be removed by ophthalmologist

  40. Open Globe Injuries: PE • Markedly decreased visual acuity • Volume loss • Afferent pupillary defect • Increased anterior chamber depth • Leakage of vitreous • Outward prolapse of the uvea (iris, ciliary body, or choroid) • Tenting of the cornea or sclera • Low intraocular pressure • (checked by an ophthalmologist only) • Seidel sign • fluorescein streaming away from the laceration site

  41. Imaging • Axial and coronal CT of the eye without contrast • 1 to 2 mm cuts through the orbits

  42. Open Globe injuries: Management • Place eye shield over the affected eye • Do not touch, move eye • Bed rest • Antiemetic therapy (eg, IV ondansetron 0.15 mg/kg, maximum dose: 16 mg) • Pain medication: morphine, fentanyl • Don’t use NSAIDs --> platelet inhibiting properties • Sedation: lorazepam • NPO

  43. Open Globe Injury: Prognosis • Depends on: • Primary closure by ophthalmologist within 24 hours • Blunt trauma has worst outcome • Initial visual acuity • Wound location: posterior lacerations have poorest outcome • Afferent pupillary defect

  44. Open Globe Injuries: Complications • Endophthalmitis: internal eye infection • Endophthalmitis is associated with poor prognosis • Prophylactic antibiotic treatment: • Vancomycin (15 mg/kg, maximum dose: 1 gram) • ceftazidime (50 mg/kg: maximum dose 1 gram) • Organisms: • Bacillus species • coagulase-negative Staphylococcus • Streptococcal species • S. aureus • gram negative organisms

  45. Retinal detachment • Rhegmatogenous detachment: a break in the retina allows fluid to enter the subretinal space • (child abuse/shaking) • Traction retinal detachments: adhesions between the vitreous and the retina pull on the retina
