Fig. 65. There is an extensive fibrous reaction in the anterior chamber in this case of hyphema. The degenerating blood has been organized by fibrous tissue causing cessation of aqueous currents. Without active aqueous circulation, the cornea has become edematous and the lens has become cataractous. The lens (L) is apparently anteriorly displaced. Insets show the clinical appearance early (inset 1) and after some clearing of the hyphema (inset 2). (Periodic acid-Schiff stain; × 16.) |
