Çocukluk Çağında Televizyon Düşmesi Sonucu Görülen Göz Problemleri

Television (TV) falls cause serious morbidity and mortality in children. Head trauma is frequently seen, and cranial nerve palsies ( 6th and\ud7th nerves are more frequently affected) are associated with head trauma. Strabismus surgery can be performed in cases not resolving with\udconservative treatment, however, the delay in treatment related to associated traumas and systemic problems may result in amblyopia.\udThere is no previous report in the literature about ocular findings accompanied by body and head trauma in children after television falls.\udIn order to share our experience, we retrospectively evaluated the records of three patients that were admitted to our clinic with the history\udof TV-related injuries. The visual acuities of patients, anterior segment and fundus findings as well as the characteristics of the television\ud(tube or LCD, size of the screen, height of the easel) were recorded.
