title: [Bulbar dislocation].
abstract: A luxation of the ocular globe can occur spontaneously or due to an adequate trauma. In the older literature several case reports are quoted. The authors report an ocular luxation of a four-year-old girl after a bicycle accident. The reaction of the affected eye's pupil was negative as well as the consensuel reaction of the other eyes's pupil. Three hours after the trauma the bulb was replaced under general anesthesia. There was a macular edema with a central red spot. Nevertheless a control after four weeks proved visus of both eyes and stereopsis to be normal. It is concluded that--as known from the older literature--an ocular luxation does not necessarily mean avulsion of the optic nerve and amaurosis. Thus, a rapid reposition ought to be attempted.
