Can you tell the name of this clinical finding?
A. Cyclodialysis
Cyclodialysis is a separation of the ciliary muscle from the scleral spur, creating an abnormal cleft between the ciliary body and sclera. It is usually caused by blunt ocular trauma and can lead to hypotony due to increased aqueous outflow through the cyclodialysis cleft.
B. Angle recession
Angle recession is a tear between the longitudinal and circular muscle fibres of the ciliary muscle, causing widening of the anterior chamber angle. It is commonly associated with blunt ocular trauma and is an important risk factor for angle-recession glaucoma, which may develop months or even years after the injury.
C. Iridodialysis
Iridodialysis is a separation of the peripheral iris from its attachment to the ciliary body. It is most commonly caused by trauma and appears as a peripheral gap or defect in the iris. Depending on its size, it may cause glare, photophobia, monocular diplopia, or cosmetic concerns.
