SUPERFICIAL FOREIGN BODY
Subtarsal Foreign Body
Small foreign bodies : particles of steel, coal or sand often
impact on the corneal or conjunctival surface.
May be washed along the tear film lacrimal drainage
system or adhere to the superior tarsal conjunctiva in the
subtarsal sulcus abrade the cornea with every blink
(pathognomonic pattern of linear corneal abrasions)
A. In the lens
B. In the angle
C. In the anterior vitreous
D. On the retina, associated with
pre-retinal hemorrhage

Pathophysiology
Damage by severe chemical injuries occurs in the following
order :
Necrosis of the conjunctival and corneal epithelium with disruption
and occlusion of the limbal vasculature.
Deeper penetration breakdown and precipitation of
glycosaminoglycans and stromal corneal opacification.
COA penetration iris and lens damage
Ciliary epithelial damage impairs secretion of ascorbate which is
required for collagen production and corneal repair.
Hypotony and phthisis bulbi may ensue in severe cases.

Diagnosis : Physical Examination

to predict visual outcome
Palpebral fissures and the fornices
IOP increased in acute and chronic alkali injuries

TRAUMA AURIKULA
Auricular Hematoma
Blunt injury to the auricle auricular hematoma.
Common injury in sport, particularly in wrestlers and boxers.
Injury to perichondrial BF blood accumulation in the
subperichondrial space perichondrium off of the
cartilage not drained cartilage necrosis.

Auricular Hematoma
Auricular hematoma must be evaluated and addressed as
soon as possible following the injury (preferably within 62
hours).
Long-recommended treatment : evacuation of the hematoma
and application of pressure dressing prevent re-
accumulation of the blood.
Wide incision with a scalpel drainage and removal of clot
and fibroneocartilage bolster dressing for 7-10 days.

Burns Trauma
1st degree burns scald injuries and results in little necrosis,
inflammation and considerable pain.
Treatment : NSAID for pain and emollient creams
Usually heals with no scar
2nd degree burns partial thickness burns epidermolysis
and blistering.
Treatment : NSAID, gentle cleansing and application of antibiotic
ointment
3rd degree burns full thickness and generally anesthetic
significant tissue loss
Treatment : 2nd degree burn and require reconstructive intervention

Burns Trauma
Pressure on the auricle should be avoided the patient may
need to wear protective cup or bolster.
Adequate analgesics to all patients with burns.
Complication : perichondritis (25% of all 2nd and 3rd degree
burns) prevention : topical antibiotic ointment

Frostbite
Prolonged exposure to T < 0oC anesthesia, pallor, ice crystal
formation within tissue.
With thawing, endothelial damage severe edema and
sludging of blood risk of necrosis.
Acute area be gently thawed by application of moist cotton
pledgets slightly warmer than body T.
Compressive dressing should be avoided.
Apply antibiotic creams

TRAUMA MEMBRAN TIMPANI
Middle Ear Trauma
Penetrating objects : misguided cotton tip applicator, hairpin, key,
pencil, picks and knives.
Injury : localized and often has predictable path.
Symptoms : pain, conductive/sensory HL, disequilibrium, tinnitus,
and rarely dysgeusia or N.VII paralysis.
Complication : delayed infection, otorrhea, subsequent
cholesteatoma formation.
88% traumatic perforation of TM heal spontaneously within 3-10
months related to size of the perforation.
Treatment : facilitating spontaneous closure debridement of the
canal .
Perforations > 3-10 months tympanoplasty to reduce the risk
of chronic infection or cholesteatoma.

BAROTRAUMA (AEROTITIS)
Barotrauma
Occurs due to pressure differentials between atmosphere and
the middle ear.
Pressure differentials develop when diving, during air travel, in
hypo- and hyperbaric chambers and to a lesser extent along
mountain paths and in fast moving elevators.
Dysfunctional eustachian tube or the EAC completely occluded
by cerumen or foreign bodies.
Boyle gas law : PV = k

Barotrauma

foreign body pressure against the lateral surface of the TM
Gas trapped by canal occlusion middle ear pressure

and possible rupture
Ambient pressure increases with descent obstructed onjects

Longitudinal Fractures
Run parallel to the long axis of the petrous ridge
Initiated by lateral or temporo-parietal blows and run through
foramen lacerum parallel to the ET and IAC
Comprised 70-90% of all temporal bone fractures and were
seen with N.VII injury 10-25% of time.
Laceration of EAC extending into tears of TM TM

Transversal Fractures
Originate at the vestibular aqueduct and run perpendicular
across the petrous pyramid.
Accounted for 10-30% of fractures
Caused by occipito-frontal blows.
Sign and symptoms : hemotympanum, SNHL, vertigo,
nystagmus, and N.VII paresis (38-50% patients)
Medial fractures transversed the fundus of IAC complete
and permanent SNHL.
