Abstract

Prospective study of 40 patients suffering from maxillofacial traumatisms with associated ophthalmological injuries that recieved attention at "Saturnino Lora" Clinical and Surgical Teaching Hospital, in Santiago de Cuba, in 1995, was presented. The most frequent ophthalmological injury was the palpebral hematoma associated with a significant percentage of severe injuries, which were related to the area affected during traumatism. Visual acuity had an elevated incidence within the normal limits. The adnexa deforming scar was the most common sequela. Cases of severe sequelae, such as the loss of the eyeball, were reported.
