Traumatic irido-pseudophacocele following whiplash injury with cow tail: A case report

We report a rare case of traumatic pseudophacocele in an old patient after suffering trauma from a cow tail. The patient presented to us very late, 5 months after the trauma. The clinical diagnosis was difficult as the entire anterior chamber was filled with blood. The anterior segment optical coherence tomography helped us to reach a diagnosis. Despite providing the best possible surgical treatment, vision remained poor due to the development of glaucoma secondary to trauma. Our case highlights the utility of non-contact diagnostic modalities and the need for early recognition and treatment of such visually devastating conditions.
