FP1455 : Blunt trauma effects on the eye as detected by B-Scan USG in a health center in Upper Assam

Abstract

The study is a hospital-based observational cross-sectional study conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Upper Assam. The goal of the study is to use an ultrasound B scan to determine the ocular effects of blunt trauma so that we can make an early and correct diagnosis and, thus, treat patients with blunt ocular trauma. A total of 100 cases were included from OPD and indoor patients in the Department of Ophthalmology, as well as referred patients with blunt ocular trauma from other departments. According to the study, the most common modes of injury were accidents and assault. Males and young people are most affected. The crystalline lens is the most frequently involved structure in blunt trauma, resulting in cataracts, lens displacement, and other complications. It demonstrates a wide range of ocular injuries, such as vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, and macular edema. B-scan ultrasonography proved to be an invaluable resource in determining the nature of these injuries.
