Case Reports[Spontaneous, bifocal rupture of the limbus in secondary angle closure glaucoma after open globe injury].
To report on a case of bifocal rupture of the limbus that developed in a young male with secondary angle closure glaucoma 7 months after penetrating eye injury. ⋯ This is first reported case of delayed, spontaneous, bifocal rupture of the corneoscleral limbus after primary open globe injury. It may be speculated that severe contusion of the eye with structural damage of the corneoscleral limbus preceded the penetrating injury and that the later limbal rupture was caused by a marked elevated IOP due to epithelial ingrowth.
