title: [Reconstruction of the iris in iridodialysis after a contusion injury of the eye].
abstract: Iridodialysis, occurring as a consequence of contusion injury of the eye ball, may initiate certain subjective disturbances (monocular diplopia, esthetic defect) indicating surgery in such cases. There is no uniform opinion as to the time of surgery. The time ranges from two weeks to one year after injury. The surgical technique is a standard one consisting of chamber opening with a corneal-sclerar incision at the site of iridodialysis. Our patient had iridodialysis as a consequence of eye ball contusion occupying a half of the base circumference. Microsurgical reconstruction of the iris was performed with an excellent end result. The specificity of this case, for which reason we are presenting it, is the duration of time elapsed from the moment of injury to surgery (14 years). The patient was injured in early childhood and the successful operation was performed when he was 20 years old. The second characteristic is that this was the case of injury and operation of a high myopic eye.
