Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the forms of ocular and adnexal injuries and to examine the treatment modalities applied after two major earthquakes in Turkey on February 6, 2023.

Methods: Following the earthquakes, the medical records of 34 patients admitted with emergency ophthalmic complaints to Hatay Training and Research Field Hospital and Etlik City Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Of these patients, 35 eyes of 34 individuals diagnosed with earthquake-related ocular and adnexal injuries were included in the study. Demographic characteristics were recorded, including ocular and adnexal findings, treatment modalities, and postoperative complications.

Results: Of the patients, 16 (47.1%) were female, and 18 (52.9%) were male. The mean age was 37.38 ± 17.3 years. The mean time from the earthquake to the first admission to the hospital was 3.82 ± 1.78 days. Initial and final best-corrected visual acuities (BCVA) were 0.54 ± 0.66 logMAR and 0.22 ± 0.41 logMAR, respectively (p = 0.0003). The initial and final BCVA of 2 eyes was no light perception. The most common forms of ocular/periocular injury associated with earthquakes were eyelid laceration (n:25, 71.4%) and orbital fracture (n:17, 48.6%). The most common accompanied systemic trauma was extremity/rib fractures (38.2). The most frequently performed surgery was the primary repair of the eyelid/canalicular (n:17, 48.6%).

Conclusion: While earthquake-related ocular and adnexal traumas are relatively uncommon, understanding the specific injury types, promptly identifying cases requiring urgent intervention, and mastering effective treatment modalities are essential for minimizing the risk of severe permanent visual impairment in these patients.

2023 年 2 月 6 日土耳其两次大地震后的眼部和附件损伤。
目的:本研究旨在确定 2023 年 2 月 6 日土耳其发生两次大地震后眼部和附件受伤的形式,并检查所采用的治疗方法:方法: 地震发生后,研究人员回顾性审查了哈塔伊训练与研究野战医院和埃特利克市医院收治的 34 名眼科急诊患者的病历。在这些患者中,有 34 人的 35 只眼睛被确诊为与地震有关的眼部和附件损伤。研究记录了人口统计学特征,包括眼部和附件检查结果、治疗方式和术后并发症:结果:患者中有 16 名女性(47.1%)和 18 名男性(52.9%)。平均年龄为 37.38±17.3 岁。从地震发生到首次入院的平均时间为(3.82 ± 1.78)天。初始和最终最佳矫正视力(BCVA)分别为 0.54 ± 0.66 logMAR 和 0.22 ± 0.41 logMAR(P = 0.0003)。两只眼睛的初始和最终 BCVA 均无光感。与地震相关的最常见眼部/眼周损伤形式是眼睑裂伤(25 人,71.4%)和眼眶骨折(17 人,48.6%)。最常见的全身性创伤是四肢/肋骨骨折(38.2)。最常见的手术是眼睑/颅骨的初级修复(17 人,占 48.6%):虽然与地震相关的眼部和附件创伤相对少见,但了解具体的损伤类型、及时识别需要紧急干预的病例并掌握有效的治疗方法,对于最大限度地降低这些患者永久性严重视力损伤的风险至关重要。
