  • Obstetrics
  • Pediatric Medicine

Context:

  • Severe ocular trauma during childbirth is infrequent.
  • Instrumental delivery maneuvers are often implicated.
  • Understanding these injuries is vital for neonatal and maternal care.

Purpose:

  • To document severe ocular injuries occurring during childbirth.
  • To analyze the consequences of these birth-related eye traumas.
  • To highlight the importance of timely ophthalmological evaluation.

Summary:

  • A review of 11 cases of childbirth-related ocular trauma was conducted.
  • Common injuries included corneal tears, retinal hemorrhages, and orbital damage (optic and oculomotor nerves).
  • Forceps delivery was the most frequent cause of these lesions.
