Partially absorbed cataractous lens in the anterior chamber revealing neglected severe ocular contusion: a case report

Article scientifique 2017 Anglais

Résumé

BACKGROUND: Ocular contusion can produce severe lesions, which if not treated appropriately and promptly, can lead to visual impairment. Ocular contusion in childhood may not be reported by children. CASE PRESENTATION: A 27 year old female presented with a partially absorbed cataractous lens that was dislocated into the anterior chamber of her left eye. There was mild anterior chamber reaction. She reported no history of ocular trauma; but associated findings and further investigations were in favour of a post-traumatic aetiology. CONCLUSION: All ocular injuries require a detailed ophthalmological examination to assess vision and the extent of lesions.
