The role of computed tomography in the immediate workup of open globe injury

摘要

Purpose: Immediate primary closure is indicated in cases of traumatic open globe injury. Orbital computed tomography (CT) is performed prior to primary closure in order to rule out possible intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB) and/or damage to adjacent extraocular as well as intraocular structures. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the yield of orbital CT scan in immediate clinical decision-making in cases of open globe injury.
