CASE REPORTS: Ultrasound biomicroscopy demonstrating pupillary block in near-total hyphema: a case report and implications for surgical planning

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Traumatic hyphema can induce increased intraocular pressure through various mechanisms. In this report, we provide imaging evidence of pupillary block secondary to traumatic hyphema. Ultrasound biomicroscopy may be a valuable imaging modality for assessing anterior chamber anatomy when visualization is obscured by hyphema, helping to guide the surgical approach for evacuation.
