马来西亚西部眼球摘除术和眼内容摘除术的手术适应证及其变化趋势

目的:通过研究近30a马来西亚西部地区眼球摘除术和眼内容物摘除术的数据统计和手术适应证,观察其近30a的动态变化趋势.方法:通过回顾研究20a(1985/2004)在马来亚大学医学中心接受眼球摘除术和眼球内容摘除术病例资料,对患者的年龄、性别、种族及其手术适应证进行分析.结果:在全部160名患者中,85例单眼行眼球摘除术,75例单眼行眼内容摘除术,患者平均36.4岁(6mo～90岁).全眼球炎(26.9%)和视网膜母细胞瘤(18.8%)是眼球摘除术和眼球内容摘除术共同的病因,72.0%因眼部感染行眼球摘除术,51.8%因眼部肿瘤行眼内容摘除术.与30a前的统计数据相比较,我们医院近30a的眼球摘除率显著降低,因青光眼和眼创伤疾病导致眼球摘除的数量显著减少,而因感染和疼痛性盲眼导致的眼球摘除数量则有显著增加.结论:全眼球炎和眼内肿瘤是眼球摘除术的主要手术适应证,尽管现在在我国需要行眼球摘除术的病例数量较以前有显著降低,但手术适应证比例的变化提示我们,在马来群岛眼部的护理仍需要很大的改进.

A study of the indications and changing trends of enucleation and evisceration in West Malaysia

AIM: To study the demographic pattern and indications for enucleation and evisceration in West Malaysia, and to evaluate the changing trends of the same over the past three decades.METHODS: In a retrospective hospital based study, case records of all patients who underwent enucleation and evisceration at University of Malaya Medical Centre over a period of 20 years (1985/2004) were reviewed. Age, gender, ethnicity of patients, indications for enucleation and evisceration were evaluated.RESULTS: Out of 160 patients, enucleation was done in one eye in 85 and evisceration was done in one eye in 75 during the study period. The mean age of patients was 36.4 years with a range of 6 months to 90 years. In our study, panophthalmitis (26.9％) and retinoblastoma (18.8％) were the most common causes of evisceration and enucleation respectively.Infections of the eye contributed to 72.0％ of eviscerations while tumors contributed to 51.8％ of enucleations. There was a significant decrease in the removal of eyes over the past three decades in our hospital. The number of removal of eyes for glaucoma and trauma-elated causes significantly reduced while removal for infection-related causes and painful blind eyes significantly increased when compared to the figures reported three decades ago from our hospital.CONCLUSION: Panophthalmitis and intraocular tumors are the major indications for the removal of eyes. Although the frequency of removal of eye has significantly decreased over time in our country, the indications for the same suggest that there is a need of further improvement of eye care services in Malaysia.
