Phthisis Bubli

Up

Phthisis bulbi is an end-stage ocular response to sever ocular disease, inflammation, or insult.  Clinically, the globe will be soft and hypotonus with minimal or no vision and loss of much of the normal architecture of the eye.  Histopathologically, the globe is small and shrunken with marked thickening of the sclera, as well as disorganization and atrophy of much of the intraocular contents(#9849, #22260).  The intraocular contents are markedly dirupted and difficult to recognize(#22261).  Commonly, the retinal pigment epithelium may undergo a metaplasia leading to intraocular ossification or bone formation in the end-stage of phthisis bulbi(#22263, #22264).
