Abstract
Pediatric ocular trauma is a significant cause of visual impairment and blindness in children, influenced by various demographic, socioeconomic, and environmental factors.This case report discusses a severe instance of perforating ocular trauma with an intraocular foreign body (IOFB) in a child.The patient, a 16-year-old male, presented with extensive ocular injuries from an angle grinder accident.Initial treatment included a 25-gauge phacovitrectomy, removal of the IOFB, and silicone oil tamponade.Complications such as epiretinal membrane formation were observed, requiring subsequent surgical intervention.This case highlights the complexity and severity of pediatric ocular trauma, showing the importance of timely and precise surgical management to prevent long-term visual impairment.The literature review emphasizes the need for preventive measures and early intervention strategies to mitigate the incidence and impact of such injuries.
