Clinical Features of Perforating Eye Injuries Complicated with Intraocular Foreign Bodies Located at the Posterior Global Wall

Purpose： To investigate the clinical characteristics and thera- peutic effects of vitrectomy in patients with perforating eye injuries with foreign bodies at the exit wound in the posterior global wall. Methods： Fifty-two cases, diagnosed with perforating eye in- jury with foreign bodies at the exit of the posterior global wall and admitted to our hospital between June 2010 and June 2013, were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent vit- rectomy and removal of intraocular foreign bodies and were followed up for 6 to 24 months. The causes of injuries were analyzed and postoperative visual acuity and overall treatment efficacy were evaluated. Results： Intraocular foreign bodies were successfully removed in all cases. The incidence of postoperative complication was low. Among 52 subjects, 46 showed alleviated symptoms af- ter treatment with an overall efficacy of 88.46%. Conclusion： Perforating eye injuries combined with residual foreign bodies in the posterior global wall are commonly ob- served in young people who perform physical labor. Vitrecto- my has a high efficacy for the treatment of perforating eye injuries complicated with foreign bodies located at the posterior global wall, with a low incidence of postoperative complications.
