Zusammenfassung

Wir untersuchten 20 ophthalmologisch symptomlose aktive Amateurboxer. Neben einer ausführlichen Anamnese wurde eine komplette ophthalmologische Untersuchung mit Beurteilung der Netzhautperipherie in Mydriasis durchgeführt. 15 (75%) Boxer zeigten Residuen eines Kontusionstraumas, wobei zu 70% der hintere Augenabschnitt betroffen war. Bei 6 (30%) fanden sich periphere Lappenrisse oder atrophe Rundlöcher. Bei Verletzungen des vorderen Augensegments war zu 85% der hintere Augenabschnitt mitbetroffen. Trotz der verwendeten Schutzmaßnahmen wie Kopfschutz und spezieller Boxhandschuhe sind regelmäßige ophthalmologische Untersuchungen insbesondere der Netzhautperipherie in Mydriasis zu empfehlen.

Summary

We examined 20 asymptomatic active amateur boxers. Beside a detailed anamnesis we performed a complete ophthalmologic examination including the peripheral retina in mydriasis. 15 (75%) boxer revealed residuals of ocular contusion, 70% affecting the posterior segment of the eye. In 6 (30%) peripheral retinal tears or atrophic holes were found. In cases with lesions of the anterior segment in 85% the posterior was also affected. Despite the safety measures just as head-guards and special boxing-gloves we recommend periodical ophthalmologic examinations with emphasis on the peripheral retina.
