Traumatic Lens Dislocation: Multi-Detector Computed Tomography Findings

Abstract

Abstract

Eye bulb associated injuries might be caused by blunt trauma or foreign bodies. This type of injury contains haemorrhage, retinal or coroidal detachment, rupture of the bulb and also traumatic dislocation of the lens. In evaluating orbital traumas, computed tomography (CT) is the choice of modality for assessing bone and soft tissue injury, fractures, intraorbital haemorrhages and intraorbital foreign bodies. We report multi-slice computed tomography (MDCT) findings of 45-year old woman who had suffered lens dislocation after head trauma in our clinic.
