After 360  conjunctival peritomy dislocated lens was removed from posterior subtenon's space with minimal manipulation [Fig. 2a and b] and sent for histopathology. A self - sealed scleral rupture [Fig. 2c] was identified in the superotemporal quadrant, just posterior to the spiral of Tillaux extending from 12 to 2 O'clock position.
