Abstract:
We present the case of a 48 year old man who was admitted for the decreased visual acuity of the left eye for about 20 years, when a left sided facial trauma had occured. Clinical examination and lab exams revealed the cause of this change: ocular contusive posttraumatic status for about 20 years (anamnestic), iridodialysis, corectopie, traumatic cataract, PVR, tractional retinal detachment. Surgical treatment was warranted. We performed cataract extraction, posterior vitrectomy with laser fotocoagulation and injection of silicon oil 1000. We followed the pacient's post-operative evolution and we extracted of the silicone oil six months later. The evolution was favorable.
