    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Psychiatry
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Autoenucleation, the self-extraction of an eyeball, is an exceptionally rare event in medical literature.
    • Cases of autoenucleation are often associated with severe psychiatric disturbances.

    Observation:

    • A young woman presented after manually extracting her right ocular globe.
    • Following the autoenucleation, she developed a right temporal hemianopsia in her remaining left eye.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights the severe consequences of autoenucleation, including profound visual field defects.
    • Review of literature and pathological findings in ocular avulsion are discussed, emphasizing psychiatric comorbidities.

    Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering psychiatric evaluation in patients presenting with self-inflicted ocular trauma.
  • Understanding the psychiatric and pathological aspects of autoenucleation is crucial for comprehensive patient management and treatment.
