| Popis: | We are reporting an unusual case of haemorrhage in the Berger's space after an episode of blunt ocular trauma in an eye of a 4-year-old boy, who enjoyed premorbid normal vision. A secondary posterior subcapsular cataract developed as a complication of the haemorrhage after 6 months of observation. Surgery comprised cataract extraction, removal of a residual retrolenticular haematoma via opening of posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC), anterior vitrectomy and placement of an intraocular lens. This yielded a reasonable visual outcome. Complete spontaneous resolution of haemorrhage in the Berger's space is unlikely and may cause secondary cataracts in children. We suggest early intervention in such conditions in order to prevent the development of amblyopia. |
