abstract="BACKGROUND: Potential pathological mechanisms and complications of traumatic avulsio bulbi will be discussed based on the history, clinical, and histopathological findings of two patients. History and Signs: Both patients were heavily affected by alcohol and had a bicycle accident with subsequent perforation of the upper eyelid by the handlebar-mounted hand brake levers. The accident resulted in disruption of the optic nerve and anterior displacement of the globe. Therapy and Outcome: In one patient, it was possible to reposition the globe into the orbit; however, the second patient's eye had to be enucleated. Functional testing demonstrated permanent loss of vision of the primary involved eyes, visual field defects, and visual impairment of one fellow eye. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Avulsio bulbi describes a severe trauma to the eye often induced by sport and traffic accidents. Special attention should be addressed to the primary non-affected fellow eye with regard to potential functional defects.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
