Abstract
in English, French

Post-traumatic aniridia is an uncommon complication of blunt ocular trauma. When it is completed, it represents a 360-degree tear from the root of the iris to its insertion into the ciliary body. Since the introduction of the use of corneal micro-incisions in cataract surgery, some cases of complete tear of iris root have been observed in patients who suffered from violent trauma. We report the case of a patient who has a complete aniridia after a fall, 15 years after cataract surgery.

L’aniridie post-traumatique est une complication peu fréquente d’un traumatisme oculaire à globe fermé. Lorsqu’elle est complète, il s’agit d’une déchirure sur 360° de la racine de l’iris à son insertion au corps ciliaire. Depuis l’avènement de l’utilisation de micro-incisions cornéennes en chirurgie de cataracte, la déchirure complète de la racine de l’iris a été observée sur plusieurs patients ayant subi un traumatisme violent. Nous rapportons le cas d’un patient, opéré de cataracte 15 ans auparavant, qui présente une aniridie complète suite à une chute.
