| Popis: | We describe a case of a young female patient presenting with ocular hypotension (4 mm Hg) secondary to cyclodialysis, and optic disc edema (ODE) after a blunt trauma in the right eye (right eye). MRI showed posterior globe flattening of the right eye, drawing our attention to the pathophysiology behind these findings. The combination of ODE and posterior globe flattening, as observed in the present case of ocular hypotony, is known from other conditions such as intracranial hypertension and space-flight neuro-ocular syndrome, pointing to a common pathophysiological mechanism, possibly resulting from axoplasmic stasis at the level of the lamina cribrosa due to a high translaminar pressure difference. |
