Glaucoma Associated with Ocular Trauma

Penetrating ocular trauma associated with blank cartridge

BACKGROUND Blank cartridge guns are generally regarded as being harmless and relative safe. However recent published articles demonstrated that the gas pressure from the exploding propellant of blank cartridge is powerful enough to penetrate the thoracic wall, abdominal muscle, small intestine and the skull. And there has been a limited number of case reports of ocular trauma associated with bl...

Ocular trauma and glaucoma.

Development of glaucoma must be considered after any ocular trauma. Transient or prolonged elevations in intraocular pressure (IOP) and damage to the trabecular meshwork and other structures predispose traumatized eyes to the development of glaucomatous optic nerve loss. Each trauma case is unique, but ocular injury tends to occur in certain patterns. An understanding of these patterns allows o...

Ocular trauma in children is mainly accidental and has an age-specific pattern. Children are most frequently injured at home by common and relatively innocuous objects. Most injuries occur by mechanical trauma. Penetrating trauma invol...
