Auto-enucleation

Case Discussion:

Female who presented to the ED after auto-enucleation. That is right… she pulled her own eye out!!! According to ophthalmology, that is no easy feat. A lot of force is required.

Auto-enucleation is form of self-injury.

Why couldn’t she just cut herself like the rest of us do?
