Combined branch retinal artery and branch retinal vein occlusion from a globe penetrating nail gun injury
Abstract: Background: Nail gun injuries represent a significant proportion of work-related ocular trauma. Here we report a rare case of a combined branch retinal arterial occlusion (BRAO) and branch retinal venous occlusion (BRVO) from a nail gun injury in a patient who was wearing eye protection.Case description: A 23-year-old male presented with a left globe penetrating injury from a pneumatic nail gun. The nail ricochet bypassed the patient's protective eyewear, penetrating the left globe causing multiple retinal tears and a combined BRAO and BRVO in the inferior temporal vascular arcade. The patient underwent prompt surgical repair obtaining an excellent anatomic outcome. However, the visual outcome was 20/200 OS at one and two years post injury primarily due to extensive ischemic damage of the retina.Conclusion: This case is the first to describe a combined BRAO and BRVO from a globe penetrating injury. What makes this case even rarer is that the patient was wearing eye protection ...
