Abstract

Purpose: We report a rare case of isolated traumatic aniridia in a pseudophakic eye. Case summary: A 69-year-old female came to our emergency department complaining of right eye pain and visual disturbance after trauma due to fall on the stairs. Five years earlier she had undergone an uncomplicated right sutureless phacoemulsification cataract extraction through a 2.2 mm temporal clear corneal incision, followed by insertion of a folding intracapsular intraocular lens. Total iris expulsion occurred through the cataract incision without extension of the wound or disruption of the posterior capsule or intraocular lens. Conclusions: We report a rare case of isolated traumatic aniridia in a pseudophakic eye, which has not been reported in the Republic of Korea.

목적: 위수정체안에서 외상에 의하여 발생한 단독 무홍채증 1예를 경험하였기에 이를 보고하고자 한다. 증례요약: 69세 여자 환자가 계단에서 넘어져 우안 수상 후 우안 안구통 및 시력저하를 주소로 응급실에 내원하였다. 5년 전 본원에서 우안 이측 2.2 mm 투명각막절개창을 통해 백내장수술을 받은 환자였다. 백내장 창상 부위를 통하여 전체 홍채해리가 탈출되었으나 창상이 벌어지거나 후낭, 인공수정체의 손상은 없었다. 결론: 저자들은 국내에서 보고된 바 없는 증례인 위수정체안에서 외상에 의하여 발생한 단독 무홍채증 1예를 경험하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
