Diagnosis: traumatic intumescent cataract with posterior synechia

Image Comments:

The trauma produced this intumescent cataract. Traumatic iridocyclitis led to formation of synchiae. Medical dilation of the pupil freed the synechial formations except that remaining at 3 o'clock. The pigment clumps still attached to the anterior capsule of the lens represent the sites of broken synechiae.
