N2  - PURPOSE: To describe a case of airbag-induced corneal flap in a previously normal cornea. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 27-year-old woman presented with complete loss of vision in her left eye following a road traffic accident which involved airbag deployment. There was no previous ocular history. Examination revealed a large corneal flap of 6mm in diameter, extending to the depth of anterior stroma. This was accompanied by a traumatic optic neuropathy. One month follow-up revealed complete reattachment of the corneal flap. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first reported case of a corneal flap induced by airbag deployment in a cornea with previously normal architecture.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
