High risk and low prevalence diseases: Open globe injury
a b s t r a c t
Introduction: Open globe injury (OGI) is a rare but Serious condition that carries with it a high rate of morbidity. Objective: This review highlights the pearls and pitfalls of OGI, including presentation, diagnosis, and manage- ment in the emergency department (ED) based on current evidence.
Discussion: OGI refers to full-thickness injury to the layers of the eye. OGI can be caused by blunt or sharp trauma, and subtypes include penetration, perforation, intraocular foreign body (IOFB), globe rupture, or mixed types. OGI is more common in males and usually secondary to work-related injury, but in women it is most commonly associated with falls. Emergency clinicians should first assess for and manage other critical, life-threatening inju- ries. Following this assessment, a thorough eye examination is necessary. Computed tomography (CT) may sug- gest the disease, but it cannot definitively exclude the diagnosis. While Point-of-care ultrasound is highly sensitive and specific for some findings in OGI, its use is controversial due to potential globe content ex- trusion. Management includes protecting the affected eye from further injury, preventing Valsalva maneuvers that could extrude ocular contents, updating tetanus vaccination status, administering broad-spectrum antibi- otics, and ophthalmology consultation for surgical intervention to prevent the sequelae of blindness and endoph- thalmitis.
Conclusion: An understanding of OGI can assist emergency clinicians in diagnosing and managing this sight- threatening traumatic process.

This article series addresses high risk and low prevalence diseases that are encountered in the emergency department (ED). Much of the primary literature evaluating these conditions is not emergency medicine focused. By their very nature, many of these Disease states and clinical presenta- tions have little useful evidence available to guide the emergency clinician in diagnosis and management. The format of each article defines the dis- ease or clinical presentation to be reviewed, provides an overview of the extent of what we currently understand, and finally discusses pearls and pitfalls using a question and answer format. This article will discuss open globe injury (OGI). This condition’s low prevalence but high morbid- ity, as well as its variable atypical Patient presentations and challenging diagnosis, makes it a high risk and low prevalence disease.

globe include laceration versus rupture. Laceration is subcategorized into penetration (only an entry wound present), perforation (entry and exit wounds present), and intraocular foreign body (IOFB). Mixed injury patterns do occur [2,3]. Rupture may occur via blunt trauma, usu- ally at weak points such as the limbus, locations of prior surgery, optic nerve, or rectus muscle insertions on the globe [4-9]. Perforation, pene- tration, and IOFB represent forms of sharp trauma due to lacerations of the globe [2]. Extent of injury can be described using anatomical zones (Fig. 1) [10].

- Pathophysiology
Discussion of the pathophysiology of OGI requires a brief overview of eye anatomy. The eye has three layers, including the cornea (anteri- orly) and sclera (posterior to the limbus); uvea; and the retina. There are three chambers including the anterior chamber, posterior chamber, and vitreous cavity (Fig. 2). The anterior chamber consists of the space between the cornea and anterior edge of the iris/lens and contains Aqueous humor. The posterior chamber extends from the posterior sur- face of the iris to the posterior edge of the ciliary body and the lens and is involved in production and circulation of aqueous humor. The vitreous

Zone 1 extends from cornea to limbus; zone 2 extends from the limbus to 5 mm posterior to the limbus; and Zone 3 involves any area posterior to 5 mm behind the limbus [10].

chamber is the largest of the three chambers and extends from the cili- ary body posteriorly to the back of the eye where the retina is located [11]. It contains vitreous humor, which assists in supporting the poste- rior lens and maintaining the ocular shape.
Any traumatic injury may result in OGI. Injuries to the anterior por- tion of the sclera are most common due to scleral thinness anteriorly [12]. In cases of blunt trauma, anterior-posterior force causes the globe to strike against the orbital wall. This increases Intraocular pressure (IOP) and leads to scleral tearing at points of weakness [13]. OGI
associated with Penetrating injuries involves the cornea in the majority of cases, though approximately one-third of injuries will involve the sclera or limbus [14,15]. An IOFB can be present in a globe laceration. IOFB are found in the vitreous cavity most commonly, followed by the anterior chamber, retina, and lens [15]. With any violation of the protec- tive wall of the eye, there is potential for extrusion of intraocular con- tents, especially with increases in IOP [16,17]. There is also a significant risk of endophthalmitis following OGI, with rates ranging be- tween 2 and 8%, though if an IOFB is present, up to 30% of patients with OGI can experience endophthalmitis [15,18-22]. Other factors associ- ated with infection include presenting with decreased visual acuity, globe laceration, injury with organic material (e.g., dirt, plant matter from gardening, etc.), lens disruption, and delayed operative care [15,18-22]. The final complication in those who are not appropriately treated includes complete vision loss [1,23].
-
- Epidemiology
The incidence of OGI is 2-6 cases per 100,000 population [24]. Males account for approximately 80% of cases, with most cases occurring be- tween the ages of 10-30 years [25-28]. This risk of OGI due to a blunt mechanism is increased after ocular surgery, including cataract removal, corneal transplant, and laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) [4,5,29,30]. Osteogenesis imperfecta and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in- crease the risk of OGI in the setting of eye trauma due to a weakness of the sclera [31-34]. In children, injury is typically associated with eye laceration from a sharp object [27,35,36]. In male adolescents, penetrat- ing injury due to a projectile may result in OGI, as well as motor vehicle accidents, fights, and sports [26,28]. OGI occurring in males is most com- monly due to a penetrating injury experienced at work while not wear- ing protective eyewear [1,37,38]. Illicit drug or alcohol use can be a contributing factor in this population as intoxication may increase the risk for traumatic injury [28,39]. In elderly patients, globe rupture is more common compared to globe laceration, with a fall being the most common mechanism [1,25,37,38,40]. IOFB account for 18-41% of

OGI, which are most commonly small projectiles [41-43]. Several factors are associated with OGI, including low socioeconomic status , likely because this sector of the population tends to work more danger- ous jobs [40]. Failure to use protective eyewear increases OGI risk, espe- cially in construction settings [44].
- Discussion
- Presentation
OGI should be suspected in any case of blunt or penetrating injury to the eye. History including the time and mechanism of injury is integral to obtain, as well as suspicion of an IOFB and prior ocular procedures. Patients will present with eye pain and typically decreased visual acuity [45]. Emergency clinicians should be suspicious for OGI if there are inju- ries to the adnexa (such as lacerations), orbital floor fracture, or retrobulbar hemorrhage, as approximately 25% of OGI patients have in- juries to the orbit or adnexa (e.g., the eyelids, lacrimal gland and duct, and all other contents of the orbit with the exception of the globe and optic nerve) [46,47].
-
- ED evaluation
Emergency clinicians should first assess for and manage other criti- cal, life-threatening injuries. Following this assessment, patients with suspected OGI should undergo a full eye examination, including visual acuity, pupils including Afferent pupillary defect (APD), confrontational visual fields, Extraocular movements, gross examination with slit lamp or pen light, and fluorescein staining. Potential physical examination findings in OGI include decreased visual acuity, pupillary shape abnor- malities such as a teardrop or peaked pupil (Fig. 3), an APD, abnormal extraocular movements (if there is an associated orbital floor fracture with extraocular muscle entrapment syndrome), corneal or scleral de- fects, and positive Seidel test (a rivulet of fluorescein flowing from a cor- neal or scleral defect in OGI) (Fig. 4) [14,48]. It is critical to note that assessment of IOP should be avoided as part of the Ocular examination

in patients with suspected OGI, as placing pressure on the eye may the- oretically cause extrusion of orbital contents [48]. Imaging using com- puted tomography (CT) of the eye with thin cuts without contrast can also be used in the evaluation for OGI. Ultrasonography is another imaging modality, but any pressure placed on the globe could theoreti- cally lead to orbital content extrusion [49]. If US is performed, copious amounts of gel should be applied in order to avoid placing pressure on the globe [49]. Neither imaging modality can definitively rule out the disease, and thus ophthalmology consultation should not be delayed to obtain imaging if there is High clinical suspicion for this diagnosis.

- ED management
Management focuses on preventing further ocular injury, avoiding increases in IOP, administering antibiotics, and emergent ophthalmol- ogy consultation. Penetrating foreign bodies should not be removed, as this could lead to extrusion of vitreous from the eye and exposure to further environmental pathogens, raising the risk for endophthalmi- tis. Efforts should be made to decrease IOP by elevating the head of the bed and treating anxiety, nausea, and pain. Any Valsalva maneuver should be avoided, as this could lead to extrusion of eye contents [48]. Tetanus vaccination status should be updated [50]. Broad-spectrum in- travenous antibiotics that penetrate the globe should be administered, such as ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, or ceftazidime with vancomycin [51-55]. Antifungal agents may be required in select cases (e.g., OGI involving dirt or IOFB) after consultation with the ophthalmol- ogy specialist. Topical antibiotics such as moxifloxacin may also be ad- ministered, but this should be discussed with the ophthalmology specialist [14]. Definitive management is surgical, and emergent oph- thalmology consultation is recommended.
- Pearls and pitfalls
- What is the systematic approach to the patient with painful versus painless monocular vision loss?
The optic chiasm represents a dividing point for vision loss. Pathol- ogy anterior to the chiasm causes monocular vision loss, and pathology
posterior to the chiasm causes binocular vision loss [56]. Monocular vi- sion loss can be due to pathology of the globe or the optic nerve. Positive symptoms (i.e., additions to vision, also known as photopsias) including wavy images, warped images, and flashing lights suggest retinal (globe) pathology [57,58]. Optic nerve damage can cause faded color vision. The presence of an APD suggests damage to the optic nerve, and absence of an APD (or normal pupillary reaction to light) is more suggestive of oc- ular pathology [57]. Central or retinal pathology leads to negative symp- toms (i.e., complete or incomplete vision loss) rather than positive symptoms [58].
The clinician should next determine the time course of the monocu- lar vision loss. For example, if the progression has been chronic (months to years), pathology such as macular degeneration or cataracts is more likely [56]. Subacute (days to weeks) development of vision loss could be associated with diseases such as Optic neuritis [56]. Acute onset (sec- onds to minutes) may be associated with rapidly-developing processes such as OGI, retinal or vitreous detachment, or acute angle closure glau- coma. Transient Visual loss can also occur, such as in cases of amaurosis fugax [56].
These factors will significantly narrow the differential diagnosis to whether the cause of the vision loss is ocular or due to optic nerve pa- thology. Several other considerations can further narrow the differential diagnosis (Fig. 5). If there are associated focal neurologic deficits, central pathology such as ischemic stroke, Transient ischemic attack , or Multiple sclerosis should be suspected [58,59]. Vascular risk factors should raise suspicion for Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), or TIA [60]. If the patient has been exposed to medications or toxins in the anticholinergic or sympathomimetic classes, acute angle closure glaucoma should be considered [56].
-
- What are high-yield features of the history for OGI?
Several historical factors are suggestive of OGI. A retrospective, cross-sectional study of ED patients found the most common mecha- nisms of OGI from highest to lowest frequency included striking against
an object or person (32.1%), cutting or piercing (15.1%), accidental entry of a foreign body (14.6%), fall (9.6%), assault (8.2%), motor vehicle colli- sion (2.9%), firearms (1.4%), and machinery (1.0%) [40]. A five-year ret- rospective case series involving 205 OGI at a tertiary care hospital found the most common mechanism of injury causing penetration or IOFB was working with metal [68]. For IOFB, other mechanisms of injury included gardening and construction [68]. For penetrating injuries, the most common mechanisms after working with metal are assault, construc- tion, working with glass or porcelain, wood chopping, gardening, being pecked by a bird, broken kitchen items or glass, or being stabbed with a writing implement [68]. Another five-year retrospective cohort study including 104 patients found work-related accidents were the most common mechanism causing OGI, followed by falls, in-home acci- dents, assaults, hunting accidents, and sport or traffic accidents [1].
While the level of detail collected regarding mechanism of injury
varies between each of the aforementioned studies, and there is some variation in the causes of OGI geographically, work-related injuries seem to universally be the most common cause of OGI. Patients present- ing with eye pain or vision changes after a work-related accident or one of the traumatic mechanisms previously mentioned should raise con- cern for OGI.
-
- What findings on examination suggest OGI?
A comprehensive ocular examination is necessary after evaluating for other life-threatening injuries. Visual acuity should first be assessed starting with a Snellen chart. If a patient is unable to see the Snellen chart, the emergency clinician should evaluate for ability to count fin- gers, followed by detection of hand motion and then light perception.
When examining the pupils, the emergency clinician should exam- ine for abnormal contour or a relative APD. An APD may or may not be present in OGI. If an APD is present in the setting of OGI, it suggests con- comitant injury to the optic nerve and a worse prognosis [69].
As with all eye examinations, the clinician should assess confronta- tional visual fields and extraocular movements. OGI can be associated

with orbital floor fractures and subsequent orbital muscle entrapment, leading to abnormal extraocular movements [14,70].
Gross examination should be performed using a penlight or slit lamp. Penetrating or perforating injuries can be subtle, and evidence of uveal prolapse may be present. Globe rupture is typically more obvi- ous, with extruded orbital contents such as vitreous, iris, or lens. The classic presentation involves a teardrop-shaped or peaked pupil, which points toward the site of injury (Fig. 3). Hyphema or 360 degree subconjunctival hemorrhage can be associated with OGI [14]. Slit lamp examination may demonstrate a shallow anterior chamber in anterior OGI and deep anterior chamber in posterior OGI [45,48].
If the physical examination is not diagnostic of OGI up to this point, the clinician should assess for a positive Seidel test. To perform this test, the clinician applies Topical anesthetic eye drop to the affected eye, followed by application of a moistened fluorescein strip to the area with the suspected leak. Clinicians may also apply the fluorescein to the superior conjunctiva, allowing the dye to flow down the cornea. The clinician then uses either a Woods lamp or cobalt blue light to eval- uate for visible fluorescein flow, which is diagnostic of OGI (Fig. 4) [51]. This test is unnecessary if there is obvious globe rupture.
Literature suggests that emergency clinicians should not evaluate ocular pressure in cases of suspected OGI, since this may lead to orbital content extrusion [14]. However, there are no case reports or peer re- viewed data documenting extrusion of ocular contents from ocular pressure evaluation in the ED setting. If an OGI is not initially suspected and ocular pressure is evaluated, it will most likely be low (less than 10 mmHg), which should raise concern for a scleral injury [72].
-
- What is the utility of CT for diagnosis?
Imaging may be used in assessment for OGI, including CT of the eye without contrast using 1-2 mm cuts. CT findings suggestive of OGI in- clude IOFB (only reliable for radiopaque objects), intraocular air, volume loss in the eye, decreased depth of the anterior chamber, globe defor- mity, displaced lens, and irregular scleral contour (Figs. 6 and 7) [73-78]. CT is more reliable than other imaging modalities for the iden- tification of IOFB and has the additional benefit of ruling out concomi- tant orbital floor fracture which is concerning for OGI [79,80].
A retrospective study of 75 Ocular trauma patients with 76 injured globes found the sensitivity and specificity of CT were 76% and 85%, respectively, for OGI [70]. Another retrospective study found the sensi- tivity and specificity of CT were 51-77% and 97%, respectively [73]. A third retrospective study of 200 patients presenting from 1989 to 1993 found the sensitivity and specificity of CT to be 75% and 93% [81], while a retrospective study of 46 patients found the sensitivity and specificity of CT were 56-68% and 79-100%, respectively [82]. Based on the data, overall CT sensitivity ranges from 51 to 77% and spec- ificity from 79 to 100% [51,70,73,81,82]. Given the limited sensitivity of CT for identifying OGI, this modality should not be used in isolation to rule out OGI, though several findings may suggest the diagnosis.
The use of US for the diagnosis of OGI is controversial. The sensitivity of emergency clinician performed point-of-care US (POCUS) in evalua- tion for OGI may be higher than CT. A prospective cohort study of 232 patients found the sensitivity and specificity of POCUS for globe rupture was 100% and 99.7%, respectively [83]. The emergency clinicians per- forming the POCUS completed 16 h of didactic training and 48 h of hands-on scanning time with ocular POCUS prior to the study, which is likely far more training than most emergency clinicians have in Ocular US. This study only included four patients with true positive globe rup- ture, so it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions [83]. In a prospective observational study conducted in a suburban community hospital affil- iated with a residency program in the U.S., 61 ocular trauma patients were enrolled, and three were found to have penetrating ocular injuries.

POCUS was performed by attending and resident emergency physicians. The attendings received no specific ocular POCUS training prior to the study but had all performed more than 15 prior ocular US examinations, and the residents received one hour of didactics and one hour of hands- on time from the attendings prior to the study. Specificity was 97.2% and sensitivity was 100% for ocular pathology (including CRAO, CRVO, IOFB, lens dislocation, OGI, retinal detachment, retrobulbar hematoma, or

vitreous detachment or hemorrhage) of the entire cohort when com- paring POCUS to thin-slice CT and/or ophthalmology evaluation in the ED. Unfortunately, the sensitivities and specificities of POCUS for OGI were not separately calculated [84]. In a porcine model, emergency medicine residents (post-graduate years I-III) had an average accuracy of 89% in the detection of IOFB using POCUS. Accuracy increased by year of training, suggesting that more experience enhances degree of accuracy with the use of POCUS for detecting IOFB [85].
The concern with POCUS is that any pressure placed on the eye could lead to extrusion of intraocular contents. Most studies evaluating the use of POCUS for posterior globe injuries exclude patients with OGI. The prospective studies and case reports that have evaluated the use of POCUS for globe rupture did not demonstrate any adverse events, but further data are required before this is utilized routinely for diagno- sis given the small numbers of patients involved [74,75,83,84,86]. If emergency clinicians perform POCUS to assess for OGI when physical examination findings alone are insufficient, they must use copious amounts of ultrasound gel and rest the hand firmly on the bridge of the nose to avoid placing any direct pressure on the eye [49].
-
- What are the key evidence-based components of management?
Early and aggressive surgical intervention is the most important component of management for OGI. Intervention within 12-24 h is as- sociated with lower rates of endophthalmitis and improved vision [87,88]. While outcomes can be poor if surgical intervention is delayed, up to 54% of appropriately treated patients can have sufficient vision to be measurable with a Snellen chart after OGI [88]. Among all patients with OGI, approximately 9% of people ultimately have no light percep- tion, and 39% experience 20/40 vision or better in the affected eye [89].
The key components of ED management for OGI include:
- Early ophthalmology consultation [14].
- Placing an eye shield over the eye to protect it from further damage.
- Avoiding removal of foreign bodies [48].
- Making the patient nil per os (NPO).
- Treating pain and nausea to prevent Valsalva maneuver that could be associated with crying or vomiting [14].
- Updating tetanus vaccination status if needed [50].
- Administering broad-spectrum antibiotics, including vancomycin and a third- or fourth-generation cephalosporin (which can be substituted with a quinolone if the patient has a cephalosporin al- lergy). Antifungal coverage should be added in discussion with the ophthalmologist if the OGI involves dirt or there is an IOFB [55,90]. Ophthalmology may proceed with intravitreal injection of ampho- tericin B or voriconazole given the lower risk of systemic side effects [91-93]. Oral and intravitreal fluconazole have also been used for OGI; oral fluconazole has fewer systemic side effects than the afore- mentioned agents and good penetration of the eye [54,94-96].
A variety of factors are associated with prognosis and visual out- comes, though as discussed, presenting visual acuity after the injury and time to operative intervention are the most important [87,88]. Se- verity and mechanism of the initial injury, and the initial examination findings, are important prognostic factors in visual outcomes as well [87,88]. Blunt mechanism of injury, initial visual acuity of hand move- ments or worse, relative afferent pupillary defect, posterior wound loca- tion, metallic IOFB, Associated injuries (e.g., lid laceration, lens damage, hyphema, retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage), and endophthal- mitis are associated with poor prognosis [4,11,21,81,82,97-99]. The Oc- ular Trauma Score (OTS) is a point system utilized for prognosis based on several factors, including initial visual acuity, globe rupture, endoph- thalmitis, perforating injury, retinal detachment, and APD [100].

scores calculated from zero to 100 based on these factors are then com- puted into an OTS ranging from one to five, with higher scores correlat- ing with better visual prognosis [100]. A separate model utilizes initial visual acuity, lid laceration, relative afferent pupillary defect, and poste- rior wound location, which has a sensitivity of 86% and specificity of 92% for predicting survival of vision [23]. Elderly patients and patients less than five years old also have worse Visual outcomes [1,101].

- Conclusion
OGI is a full-thickness traumatic injury to the wall of the eye (cornea or sclera) associated with severe morbidity. Injury can be caused by blunt or penetrating mechanisms, and subtypes include penetration, perforation, IOFB, or globe rupture. If untreated, patients can experience endophthalmitis and vision loss. Poor visual acuity after the injury, globe rupture, IOFB, older women, children, and delays in surgical inter- vention are associated with worse prognosis. OGI is a clinical diagnosis, classically presenting with painful visual loss, pupillary shape abnor- malities (with the pupil “pointing” to the site of injury), and positive Seidel test. CT may be helpful for confirming the diagnosis of OGI, but it cannot definitively rule out the disease. POCUS has high sensitivity and specificity for several findings in OGI, but its use is controversial at this time. Management focuses on protecting the globe from extrusion of orbital contents via a protective shield and avoidance of Valsalva ma- neuvers, updating tetanus vaccination status, broad-spectrum antibi- otics, and early surgical intervention by ophthalmology. Early diagnosis and management are key to ensuring the best possible visual outcomes for the patient.
