Abstract

Globe luxation or Avulsion is a rare condition that can present spontaneously or following trauma, where there is complete prolapse of the globe from the orbit.

It is classified as incomplete (prolapse of the globe alone with a structurally intact optic nerve and extraocular muscles) or Complete (prolapse along with severed optic nerve and extraocular muscles).

We describe a 52 year old male who presented to the Trauma centre with a history of Road Side Accident under influence of alcohol .Upon examination there was complete left eye globe avulsion with globe attached to the orbit with strands of subcutaneous tissue and the right eye was within normal limits. The globe was freed from the orbit, haemostasis achieved, conjunctiva opposed and repair done .

The patient was started on systemic antibiotics and was kept on follow up.
