Diagnosis: evisceration with lucite ball implant

Image Comments:

This teenager had an evisceration followed by a lucite ball implant. The cornea was retained during the evisceration. In the post-operative phase, he presented with this primary position. Because of a remote posibility of sympathetic ophthalmia in this operation, all other eviscerations were performed without retention of the cornea and without an intrascleral cavity implant. Evisceration ( simple type ) was done on all panophthalmitis cases.
