PURPOSE: To characterize the clinical presentation, surgical management, long-term complications and outcomes of Gunshot Wounds(GSW) to the orbit.
METHODS: An extended case series with retrospective chart-review was conducted on all cases (1985-2020) of traumatic ocular injuries secondary to GSWs at an academic institution with a level 1 trauma center. Predictors included demographic information, clinical and radiologic examination findings, and surgical intervention at time of presentation. Outcomes included long-term lid malposition, visual acuity, pain, and secondary surgery. Descriptive statistics and tests of association were performed, including Fishers exact tests for categorical data, Kruskal-Wallis rank sum tests, analysis of variance, and, in the case of repeated measures, generalized estimating equations.
RESULTS: 88 patients with GSW involving the orbit were included with average age of 32.6 years (sd = 15.7). Patients were 85.2% male, 75% African-American, 25.0% Caucasian, and 5.7% Hispanic. Median follow up was 43.3 months (4.6, 136.4). The injuries at presentation were 53.4% intracranial, 21.6% open globe, 80.7% orbital fracture, 89.8% lid laceration. Visual acuity did not significantly improve over time. Long-term complications included abnormal lid or globe position in 26.1% of patients, reduced visual acuity in 55.2%, and persistent pain in 50.6%.
CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this represents the first and largest clinical epidemiologic study with insight into the clinical presentation, surgical intervention, and long-term outcomes of GSW to the orbit. The results demonstrate a long-term burden of persistent pain and reduced visual acuity in patients who suffer from GSW to the globe and orbit. This study may guide patient management and communications.
