WE reviewed 114 patients who were admitted and treated at the Chonju Presbyterian Medical Center between 1986 and 1990 for nonperforating traumatic hyphema. Of these 114 cases, 103(90.4%) were male and 11(9.6%) were female. Mostly, they were
under
20
years of Grade I hyphema(bleeding less than one third of anterior chamber) was 72 cases(63.2%). The causes of injuries were blows to the eye(56 cases, 49%) and projectile objects(45 cases, 39.5%).
Associated injuries to the eye and periocualr structures occurred in 78 patients(68.4%), which were angle recession(23.7%), eyelid laceration(20.2%), increased intraocular pressure(16.7%), traumatic cataract(14.0%).
Secondary hemorrhage occurred I 15 patients(13.2%) and was significantly more frequent among patients whose initial hyphema filled more than one third of the anterior chamber. The final visual acuity were worse in eye with associated ocular
injuries
such as vitreo-retinal disorders, traumatic cataracts, etc(J Korean Ophthalmol Soc 33: 279~286, 1992).
