AIM: To analyze the etiopathogenisis and therapeutic conditions of traumatic glaucoma, and provide epidemiologic data for traumatic glaucoma. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 221 cases 223 eyes of traumatic glaucoma from June 2004 to May 2009 in our hospital was performed. RESULTS: According its etiopathogenisis, it concluded 95 cases 98 eyes (43.0%) of hyphema, 50 cases 53 eyes (22. 6%) of dislocation of the lens, 39 cases 43 eyes (17.6%) of angle recession, 20 cases 20 eyes (9.1%) of lens cortex release, 8 cases 8 eyes (3. 6%) of corneal perforation, 6 cases 6 eyes (2.7%) of intraocular foreign body, 3 cases 5 eyes (1. 4%) of chemical burns. The majority of traumatic glaucoma was caused by hyphema after blunt trauma. CONCLUSION: The pathogenesis and etiopathogenisis of traumatic glaucoma are complex and visual function damage is serious. Prevention and rational treatment of traumatic glaucoma are the key factors to save the patients' visual acuity.LA: Chinese
