Bilateral angle recession following occiput injury
Abstract
Angle recession is a common complication of blunt eye injury, but its occurrence without direct eye injury is rare. We report a case of bilateral angle recession secondary to occiput injury, without direct impact to the eyes. A 56-year-old patient presented to us with bilateral blurring noted after contusion to the occiput, without direct injury to the facial region. Ophthalmic examination revealed bilateral microhyphema with 360-degree angle recession. The findings in this patient highlight the importance of gonioscopic examination in patients with blurring after blunt injury to the head region.
