Resumen

GONZALEZ DUQUESNE, Madlena et al. Closed globe injuries in pediatric age. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2022, vol.35, n.1  Epub 29-Ago-2022. ISSN 1561-3070.

Ocular traumas are frequent in ophthalmology emergencies. Treatment is a challenge for the ophthalmologist, as he faces a comprehensive and complex damage. A 16-year-old patient is presented, who was hospitalized at the Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology Ramón Pando Ferrer 4 years ago for having received a blunt trauma to the right eye which caused total hyphema. During his hospital stay, anterior chamber lavage was performed since spontaneous reabsorption was not achieved. When all ocular structures are visualized, complications such as lens subluxation, cataract, panuveitis, hemovitreous, traumatic retinal tear and glaucoma are diagnosed. The tear was blocked with a laser and once the inflammatory condition was compensated, he was discharged under treatment and monitoring by pediatric ophthalmology. The glaucoma could not be controlled and a Molteno drainage device was implanted, which stabilizes the ocular tension. Cataract surgery was subsequently performed, keeping the glaucoma compensated without treatment and with visual quality.

Palabras clave : eye trauma; hyphema; glaucoma.
