ABSTRACT
Objectives: To characterize, clinically, childhood ocular trauma of child attended in the ophthalmologic room of the emergency section of South Pediatric Hospital of Santiago de Cuba in 2016.Materials and Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in 900 children between 1 month and 17 years old with mechanical ocular trauma. Socioeconomic and clinic variables were used, taking into account the Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology (BETT).
Results: There was a predominance of male sex (64,5%), with a masculinity rate of 1,8:1. The group of age between 5 and 9 years was the most relevant (39%). Closed ocular trauma prevailed with 98,9%, within them the ocular contusion (39,6%). Penetrated injuries were the most significant within the opened ocular trauma with 60% of case. The most affected zone of the ocular globe, in both sort of trauma, was the Zone I (96,33%) and the visual acuity with more preponderance was > 20/40 in 63%.
Conclusions: Ocular trauma in child is characterized by a marked preponderance in male, with damage that kept the integrity of the ocular wall. The penetrated injuries are erected as one of the most important in the opened ocular trauma and lamellar laceration and mixed closed trauma were a significant association with an important loss of visual acuity.
