An Unusual Presentation of Posterior Globe Rupture Detected During Pars Plana Vitrectomy

A 54-year-old gentleman presented with a history of poor vision in the right eye for three months and a prior forgotten trauma. The anterior segment was normal. He was diagnosed with subtotal bullous rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), but no apparent tear was observed. Vitrectomy commenced, and upon exploration, there was a posterior globe rupture with retinal and vitreous incarceration. The scleral wound was sutured with heavy liquid in situ. Orbital imaging post-surgery revealed the presence of an intraorbital foreign body. This is a peculiar presentation of posterior globe rupture, as it was unperceived by the patient, and the slit lamp examination conducted indicated no clinical evidence. Identifying posterior globe rupture remains a challenge that necessitates a high index of suspicion and appropriate management.
