| A
long-standing or very mature cataract may undergo liquefaction of the lens
cortex. The dark brown,
mature nucleus then sinks inferiorly in the fluid filled capsular sac due
to the forces of gravity. This
may be noted clinically with the brown nucleus seen to lie inferiorly
withing the capsular sac (#22201). Examination
of a Morgagnian cataract grossly reveals a very hard, brunescent appearing
nucleus with a markedly liquified cortex and loosely wrinkled capsular
bag(#22202).
(#22227,
#22245) are other views of Morgagnian type cataracts.
