Abstract:
Background Open-globe injury of zone Ⅱ is a severe eyeball wound in the sclera area near 5mm from the corneal limbus.To accurately evaluate the local tissue structure after the wounding is very important for lessening the complications of eye injury.Ultrasound biomicroscope (UBM) has been proven useful in examining eyeball wall and vitreous at the wound in order to offer the useful information about whether secondary operation is needed for the injured eyes and when is the optimal timing for surgery.Objective The present study is to explore the clinical application of UBM in open-globe injury of zone Ⅱ. Methods This is an observational study of clinical cases.UBM examination was performed on 38 eyes of 38 cases received emergency repair surgery of open-scleral injury.The restore status of sclera,ciliary body and vitreous of injuried zone (zone Ⅱ) were evaluated under the UBM in 3-5 days after the operation.The comprehensive results of UBM,B-scan and ophthalmoscope examinations were analyzed to determine the further treatment.The oral informed consent was obtained from each subject before this trial.Results Vitreous surgery were performed on 15 cases,and all wounds were found by UBM and were proven in the surgery.The other 23 cases were followed up in out-patient department and no obvious complications were found.Conclusion UBM is a valuable and atraumatic examination for open-globe injury of zone Ⅱ.It offers important and appraisal information about ocular injury.
