Abstract

Lamellar laceration of the cornea may occur following ocular trauma. The management of lamellar laceration will depend on whether the lacerated corneal flaps are displaced or undisplaced. We hereby report an unusual case of large traumatic lamellar corneal laceration in right eye in a 14-year-old girl presenting with diminution of vision. Slit lamp biomicroscopic examination showed partial thickness corneal flap of 11.5mm X 7mm from 11o'clock to 6 o'clock position with 3 mm superonasal displacement associated with stromal folds and shifting of inferior limbus and conjunctiva. Surgery was the appropriate option which included visualization of inferior limbus by incising conjunctiva, repositioning of displaced corneal flap and securing it with sutures. Immediate examination and proper surgical management of lamellar corneal injuries results in good visual outcome and prevention of complications like fibrous ingrowth and infection.
