Abstract
An 11-year-old boy had posterior lens capsule rupture resulting from a nonpenetrating (blunt trauma) injury to the eye. A rapidly developing cataract required pars plana lensectomy. This report suggests that po sterior capsule rupture may occur secondary to blunt trauma and progre ssive cataract formation after posterior capsule rupture may require s urgery soon after the injury.
