Ramirez, PhD, RN, FNP-BC, FAANP Patient With a Globe Rupture Carmen T. Paniagua, EdD, RN, CPC, ANP, ACNP-BC; Connie M. Gunter, BSN, MS; Jonathan D. Casciano, MD; Randy P. Maddox, MD Abstract Eye injuries are a leading cause of monocular blindness within the United States. The management of patients who have sustained eye injuries can be challenging for advanced practice nurses (APNs) who work in emergency care settings. APNs are required to have a thorough understanding of eye injuries in order to promptly and accurately assess and manage eye emergencies. This article presents a case of a patient with an open eye globe rupture and discusses the assessment, diagno- sis, and management for this patient.

Space-occupying lesions in this area can result in clinical d- eficits caused by compression of the optic nerve or extraocular muscles. Even vas c u l a r changes in the cavernous sinus can produce a direct mass effect and affect the orbit ap e x. When pathologic changes in this region is suspected, contrast-enhanced MR imaging with fat saturation is very useful. According to the anatomic regions from which the lesions arise, they can be classi- fied as belonging to one of five groups; lesions of the optic nerve-sheath complex, of the conal and intraconal spaces, of the extraconal space and bony orbit, of the cav- ernous sinus or diffuse. The characteristic MR findings of various orbital lesions will be described in this paper.

The vast majority of these are preventable.2 Open globe injuries are injuries where the cornea and/or sclera are breached and there is a full-thickness wound of the eye wall.3 It can be further delineated into globe rupture from blunt trauma and lacerations from sharp objects. When a large blunt object impacts onto the eye, there is an instant increase in intraocular pressure and the eye wall yields at its weakest point leading to tissue prolapse.4 Open globe lacerations are caused by sharp objects or projectiles and subdivided into either penetrating or perforating injuries.

  • Topical Serum for Treatment of Keratomalacia

The cornea makes up the anterior por- tion of the globe and provides multiple functions for vision: it is transparent (despite originating from surface ectoderm), thereby allowing for clear vision; it acts as the major refractive (bending of light) surface of the globe; and it provides a protective barrier between the globe and the environment The cornea consists of 4 layers in domestic species, being approximately 0.45–0.55 mm thick in the normal dog.

This patient had her intraocular contents protruding and experienced complete vision loss in her right eye. The emergency management and downstream surgical care is discussed, as well as the use of the Ocular Trauma Score to predict prognosis. Our patient had an Ocular Trauma Score of 1, considering right retinal detachment and perforating injury. Categories: Emergency Medicine, Ophthalmology Keywords: emergency medicine, ophthalmology, trauma, globe rupture Introduction Amongst serious eye injuries, 40% are attributable to penetrating and perforating injury [1]. Globe rupture occurs when the structure of the cornea or sclera is disrupted, usually due to trauma. Symptoms of globe rupture include eye deformity, eye pain, and vision loss. Sometimes, if blunt force directly impacts the eye, the sclera may rupture due to intraocular pressure. Globe injuries are relatively uncommon, with an incidence of 3.5 per 100,000 eye injuries [2].
