A rare case of traumatic posterior phacocele with retinal detachment.

ABSTRACT

Dislocation of crystalline lens into the anterior subconjunctival or subtenon’s space is a rare but known complication of blunt trauma. Dislocation into the posterior subtenon’s space is even rarer and can be associated with a complication such as occult scleral tear and retinal detachment. We report a case of traumatic posterior subtenon’s dislocation of crystalline lens after blunt trauma and its successful surgical management.
