Enlarged anterior chamber: CT finding of a ruptured globe.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A deep anterior chamber of the globe is a clinical sign of posterior scleral rupture, an ophthalmologic emergency. On axial CT, the depth of the anterior chambers of ruptured globes was greater than the depth of the anterior chambers of normal globes.
