Abstract

Heterotropic bone formation or intraocular osseous metaplasia is a rare finding. Trauma, chronic inflammation, and long-standing retinal detachment are some of the common etiological factors associated with the onset of intraocular ossification. We report a case of a 16-year-old girl with a history of blunt trauma 6 years back, who complained of right eye blindness. Right eye enucleation was done which on histopathological examination revealed pre-retinal lamellar bone with fatty marrow. We diagnosed her case as intraocular ossification in phthisis bulbi.
