Resumen:
Complete posterior lens dislocation is an infrequent clinical entity.
Trauma is the first cause of secondary lens dislocation. Most of the
cases are unilateral, and bilateral cases are unusual. We report the
uncommon case of a 70-year-old woman with evidence of a posterior
bilateral dislocation of the lens in the context of an acute onset of
confusional syndrome. We discuss about sensory deprivation as a trigger
for acute confusion and agitation in patients with predisposing
conditions. In addition, we describe the benefits that, in our
experience, the refloating technique with perfluorocarbon liquid
provides for the surgical approach to these cases.
