A finger poke caused sudden vision loss. Ultrasonic biomicroscopy revealed an occult scleral rupture, aiding surgical repair and restoring globe integrity.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Ophthalmic Trauma
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Sudden vision loss after ocular trauma can indicate severe injury.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for timely and effective surgical intervention.

Observation:

  • A 55-year-old woman experienced acute vision decrease in her left eye post-trauma.
  • Clinical examination showed subconjunctival swelling, aphakia, and hypotony.
  • B-scan lacked a lens spike, but ultrasonic biomicroscopy revealed conjunctival thickening, a subconjunctival mass, and uveoscleral discontinuity.

Findings:

  • Ultrasonic biomicroscopy effectively identified an occult scleral rupture.
  • The imaging modality precisely delineated the extent of the scleral injury.

Implications:

  • Ultrasonic biomicroscopy is valuable for diagnosing concealed scleral ruptures.
  • This technique facilitates accurate surgical planning and improves outcomes in traumatic eye injuries.
