Abstract

A 3-month-old, female Persian cat was presented with sclera mass. The mass was detected after cat's squeals during the playing with a dog before 2 days. On ophthalmic examination, a $2{\times}5mm$ dark purple colored raised mass was observed 1 mm behind the limbus in the right eye. Anterior chamber was filled with blood and epithelial defect was detected at 2 o'clock in the right central cornea. After general anesthesia, resection of the protruded iris was performed with iris scissors and bipolar cautery. Ruptured sclera and conjunctiva were closed with simple interrupted and simple continuous suture, respectively. Also, irrigation and aspiration (I/A) of the anterior chamber was performed to remove blood clot with bimanual I/A handpiece in the right eye. Four months after the surgery, the right eye was recovered completely and menace response was positive in spite of the retinal lesions.
