Medical treatment of traumatic pupillary capture by simple pupil dilation with subconjunctival adrenaline: Case report

A 51-year-old male was admitted to our clinic with blurred vision, pain, and redness following blunt trauma to his right eye. The patient had a history of right-eye extracapsular cataract extraction, with intraocular lens implantation three years ago. On biomicroscopic examination, a 4+ cell reaction was detected in the anterior chamber, and pupillary capture (PC) was identified between the 9 and 2 o'clock points. In this case, the noninvasive treatment of traumatic PC and uveitis is reported. This case illustrates that, in order to achieve sufficient pupillary dilatation, a subconjunctival injection of adrenaline should be considered in the noninvasive treatment of such patients. © 2013 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
