Abstract

SANTOS-BUESO, E. et al. Ocular rupture associated with lens dislocation to the subconjunctival space. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2007, vol.82, n.10, pp.641-644. ISSN 0365-6691.

Case report: We present the case of a patient who suffered from rupture of her left eye due to moderate blunt trauma. The lens, which was dislocated to the nasal and superior subconjunctival space, was extracted and the wound explored and repaired; when the process had stabilized secondary vitrectomy and suture of an IOL to the sulcus were performed, achieving a final visual acuity of 0.3. Discussion: Eye trauma is common and eye rupture may occur in those patients who have undergone ocular surgery or suffer from a debilitating condition of the eye. None of these predisposing factors existed in our case. Despite the seriousness of the problem, appropriate treatment achieved good visual function.

Keywords : Trauma; dislocation; lens; subconjunctival space.
