RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To highlight the use of Pentacam in the identification of true exfoliation of the lens capsule. METHODS: A 72-year-old woman presented for assessment of bilateral cataracts. An unusual appearance was noted in the right eye. A scrolled membrane was seen floating in the anterior chamber. RESULTS: Imaging with Pentacam showed its origin to be from the anterior lens capsule, suggesting the diagnosis of true exfoliation of the lens capsule. The patient went on to have uncomplicated cataract surgery and the lens capsule was sent for histopathology. CONCLUSIONS: This case highlights the use of anterior segment imaging, the classic histopathology findings, and the management of cataract surgery in these rare cases.
