Axial computed tomography (CT) (a) of the head through the orbit with the patient lying in a supine position with the head in a neutral position reveals that the crystalline lens is lying posteriorly within the eyeball (arrow) in a dependent position. Coronal CT (b) of the head through the orbit with the patient lying in a supine position with the head in a hyperextended position reveals that the crystalline lens has now shifted to the superior aspect of the vitreous chamber in the eyeball (arrow) which is again the dependent position with respect to the new patient position

CT scan of the head and the face on the axial scans [Figure 1a] showed the crystalline lens to lie within the vitreous chamber posteriorly in a dependent position. On the coronal scans [Figure 1b], which were acquired after hyperextension of the neck of the patient, the lens had moved within the vitreous to the superior part of the eyeball again lying in a dependent position.
