title: [Posttraumatic aniridia--clinical reports].
abstract: The paper illustrates the case of a posttraumatic aniridia, following a domestic accident. The total desinsertion of the iris occurred after a contusive trauma associated with the rupture of the eye ball. The iris left the eye ball through the scleral rupture. The pigmentary impregnation of the conjunctiva in front of the scleral rupture suggests the possible intervention of a mechanism of autophlagia of the iris. The lens kept its normal position, but has became completely opaque. The traumatic aniridia has been associated with the devastating loss of vision, because of the associated vitreo/retinal lesions. The immediate and late postoperative aspects are illustrated.
