Abstract
Isolated rupture of the posterior capsule caused by blunt ocular trauma is rarely reported and is usually detected incidentally during surgery for the associated cataract. We report a case of isolated posterior capsule rupture detected during cataract surgery in a 33-year-old man who had traumatic cataract. In this case, the ruptured posterior capsule had relatively large defect in size(5x5 mm)with thickened and fibrosed edge and vitreous opacity existed. The surgical management of this case consisted of phacoemulsification with PC-IOL implantation and pars plana vitrectomy. During surgery, although the posterior capsule rupture was large, further rupture of the capsule was prevented by the fibrosed edge which tightened the margin ofthe ruptured capsule, and so PC-IOL implantation could be possible securely.
Key Words: Isolated posterior capsule rupture;Blunt ocular trauma;PC-IOL implantation
