    AbstractAn 11-year-old boy had posterior lens capsule rupture resulting from a nonpenetrating (blunt trauma) injury to the eye. A rapidly developing cataract required pars plana lensectomy. This report suggests that posterior capsule rupture may occur secondary to blunt trauma and progressive cataract formation after posterior capsule rupture may require surgery soon after the injury.
