“Don’t miss the globe” – Study of diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography in detecting open globe injury

Globe contour deformity or defect, intraocular hemorrhage, and a change in ACD were the three most predictive signs of open globe injury. CT is of valuable help in a multi-trauma setting and in an uncooperative patient for ophthalmological examination to draw attention to globe injury. However, CT examination alone is insufficient in detecting all cases of open globe injury. There is a need for a more collaborative approach among emergency physicians, ophthalmologists, and radiologists.
