摘要

Background

The present study highlights the varied presentation of eye injuries associated with maxillofacial trauma.

Methods

A retrospective study was designed to evaluate the varied spectrum of eye injuries seen in conjunction with maxillofacial trauma. The study included basic demographic data like age and sex, mechanism of injury, facial fractures, associated eye injuries, associated other injuries, and management of facial fractures. Data were analyzed and a p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

The study sample consisted of 151 patients. Commonly seen eye injuries are open-globe injuries (43.3%) and closed-globe injuries (19.8%). The most associated maxillofacial fracture with eye injuries is an orbital floor with lateral wall and medial wall fractures (29.13%), followed by zygomatic maxillary complex fractures (ZMC) (21.2%).

Conclusion

This study thus concludes that eye injuries are commonly seen in association with maxillofacial trauma, including orbital and ZMC fractures. Open globe injury is seen more commonly. These injuries needed timely surgical intervention to prevent vision morbidity. A complete examination of the eye leads to an early diagnosis of grievous injuries and prompt management, albeit at the expense of potential delays in managing maxillofacial fractures in certain instances.
