A 34-year-old male presented to the emergency department with a penetrating injury of the left globe and orbit from a Thomas A Swift’s Electric Rifle (TASER^®) probe. The severity of the globe injury precluded primary closure of the globe; a primary evisceration was performed. In this article, we discuss not only the case in detail but also the TASER^® rifle and the literature to support our decision in performing an evisceration rather than an enucleation, which historically has been taught to decrease the risk of sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) in the fellow eye. We are of the opinion, after reviewing the literature, that SO is not an overwhelming reason to choose enucleation over evisceration and that evisceration has an advantage over enucleation with regard to functional and cosmetic outcomes.

原发性内脏处理眼 TASER 探针损伤：病例报告

一名 34 岁男性因 Thomas A Swift 的电动步枪 (TASER ^® ) 探头导致左眼球和眼眶穿透性损伤到急诊科就诊。眼球损伤的严重性阻止了眼球的主要闭合；进行了一次主要的掏膛。在本文中，我们不仅详细讨论了案例，还讨论了 TASER ^®步枪和文献支持我们决定进行内脏而不是眼球摘除，历史上已被教导降低对侧眼交感性眼炎 (SO) 的风险。我们认为，在回顾文献后，SO 并不是选择去核而不是去内脏的压倒性理由，而且内脏在功能和美观方面比去核有优势。
