Department of Ophthalmology, Kayseri Education and Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences, Kayseri, Türkiye DOI : 10.37845/ret.vit.2024.33.47 Closed globe injuries can cause serious posterior segment injuries even if there is no damage to the anterior segment of the eye. Optic nerve head (ONH) avulsion is a rare but very serious complication of blunt eye trauma. While avulsion often occurs where the optic nerve attaches to the globe, it can also occur at any point along the nerve and there is no effective treatment. Preventing eye trauma will also prevent serious morbidity. In this report, we present a case with ONH avulsion and accompanying inferior canalicular laceration following blunt eye trauma.
