Isolated posterior capsular split limited by Weiger's ligament after blunt ocular trauma in a child mimicking posterior lenticonus

J AAPOS. 2015 Dec;19(6):557-8. doi: 10.1016/j.jaapos.2015.05.022.

Abstract

A 9-year-old boy presented with a posterior capsular split in the lens following a blunt ocular injury. This split was probably limited by the margins of the Weiger's ligament with opacification of the anterior vitreous face along the patellar fossa producing an appearance of posterior lenticonus.
