Spontaneous rupture of the lens capsule.

چکیده
SINCE the first reports of spontaneous rupture of the lens capsule by Ulrich (1882) and Szily (1884), further cases have been reported by Rollet and Genet (1913), Gonzalez (1919), Kaufman (1933), Knapp (1937), Box (1941), Sugar (1949), and Bonavolonta (1950). Rupture of the lens capsule also occurs in anterior lenticonus (Ehrlich, 1946), and after trauma (Bellows, 1944). The purpose of this paper is to describe one new case of spontaneous lens rupture, and two others which occurred many years after trauma; and also to discuss the glaucoma which followed the lens rupture in all reported cases but one (that of Box, 1941).
