CASE REPORT Blunt Ocular Trauma in One Eye A Photo Documentation SUSHMITA KAUSHIK, MD, JASPREET SUKHIJA, MD, SURINDER SINGH PANDAV, MD, AMOD GUPTA, MD Blunt ocular trauma can cause both structural and func- tional damage to the eye. We present a 13-year-old male who suffered a blunt injury with a wooden stick. Ocular examination revealed all the classic seven rings of trauma. Although ocular examination should always focus on these signs, all the signs are rarely present in a patient pre- senting with blunt trauma. Despite multistructural dam- age, the patient regained useful vision with medical management alone.

ISSN 1558–9951 (Online) INTRODUCTION Blunt ocular trauma can result in damage to various ocular structures from the cornea, retina, and choroid (1) , and constitutes a sizeable proportion of emer- gency hospital visits (2) . The classical mechanism involves damage to seven rings of tissue resulting in sphincteric tear, iridodialysis, cyclodialysis, Zonular rupture, retinal tears or detachment, and choroidal rupture (1) . However, it is unusual to encounter simultaneous damage to multiple structures in an Figure 1—Anterior segment photograph of the right eye showing iridodialysis and streak hyphema on the anterior lens surface.
