Patient Data
Age: 80 years
Gender: Female
From the case:
Ocular globe rupture
Loading images...
Axial non-contrast
Right eye cornea and uveo-scleral layer tear with preseptal and lacrimal gland soft tissue swelling are seen. The lens is visualized incompletely/poorly, presumably due to trauma and edema.
Case Discussion
The case illustrates non-contrast MDCT features of ocular globe rupture. There is no obvious foreign body. The inability to visualize the native lens should not be immediately dismissed as being due to prior cataract surgery, but rather possibly indicative of lens trauma and edema resulting in it being isoattenuating to surrounding vitreous humor 1. An ophthalmological review is required.
