Forty-five year-old woman with blunt injury to the right eye
(A) Clinically she was noted to have subconjunctival hemorrhage superiorly with a conjunctival laceration, hyphema (blood clot in inferior anterior chamber), and iridodialysis (separation of the iris from the ciliary body) superiorly. (B) CT scan showed a hyperdense rim opposed to the sclera representing a scleral buckle from a prior surgery and aphakia (absence of the lens) also from prior surgery. There is significant deformity of the posterior sclera with vitreous volume loss. This woman had a 3 mm scleral laceration 2 mm posterior to the limbus.
