Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery

Context:

  • Achoura festival in Morocco involves fireworks, leading to pediatric eye injuries.
  • A study was conducted at the Ophthalmology Department of 20 Août 1953 Hospital in Casablanca.
  • Fifteen pediatric cases of ocular trauma were analyzed.

Purpose:

  • To report and analyze ocular injuries in children resulting from fireworks during Achoura.
  • To identify the types of fireworks causing injuries and the nature of the trauma.
  • To propose preventive measures for reducing firework-related eye injuries in children.

Summary:

  • Fireworks, particularly firecrackers (50%), caused ocular contusions and Berlin's edema.
  • Rocket injuries resulted in globe rupture and eyelid lacerations.
  • Carbon bombs caused severe burns and deep corneal foreign bodies, while "stars" and iron filings led to superficial corneal burns and foreign bodies. BB guns caused contusions.

Impact:

  • Highlights the significant risk of severe eye injuries in children from celebratory fireworks.
  • Emphasizes the need for stricter regulations on fireworks sales.
  • Underscores the importance of public awareness campaigns using audiovisual media to prevent these injuries.
