Abstract
Extrusion of intraocular contents commonly occurs when an eye injury is full thickness; Table 2.4.1 shows selected incidence figures with different types of trauma. The tissue extrusion typically occurs at the time of injury as the IOP rises during impact; escape of aqueous and tissues through the wound follows a pressure gradient until the IOP is normalized .
