Abstract

Penetrating injuries of the eye are an important cause of unilateral visual loss. Hemophthalmos is frequently and
serious complication in penetrating eye injuries. We studied a series of 422 cause, children aged 1-15 years, treated from
1989 through 1998. There were 324 (76.78%) boys and 98 (23.22%) girls in the study group, with a mean age of 8 years 4
monats. Complication from penetrating eye injuries with hemophthalmos is noticed in 62 cases (14.69%).
