Abstract
Clinical study has been carried out on the 108 cases (108 eyes) of nonperforating traumatic hyphema who had been admitted to Kyungpook National University Hospital during the past five years. Male patients were 95(87.9%) of 108 and the third decade occupied about 40% of all cases. Grade I hyphema(less than one third of the height of the anterior chamber) was 66 cases(61.1%). Various projectiles accounted for nearly one third of the injuries. The most commonly associated ocular injuries included angle re cession, retinal edema, and eyelids laceration. Secondary hemorrhage occurred in 7.4% of all cases, and it seems that rebleeding increased the risk of secondary glaucoma. Although the final visual acuities were worse in eyes with larger hyphema and secondary hemorrhage, the associated ocular injuries such as vitreoretinal disorder, cataract, etc. accounted for the decreased visual acuity.
Key Words: hyphema;secondary hemorrhage;visual acuity
