AbstractKeratoconus is a clinical term used to describe bilateral non-inflammatory corneal ectasia in its axial part due to which cornea assumes a conical shape1. The onset of keratoconus is generally at the age of puberty, and progresses over a period of 10-20 years2,3. The treatment of Keratoconus is rarely an emergency, with the exception of corneal hydrops resulting from rupture of the Descemet's membrane. This may be the common mode of presentation in patients with associated developmental delay, probably related to habitual ocular massage4,5.

We report the case of a patient presented to the emergency department because of a contusive trauma from a pressurized bottled drink cap. During the visit, the patient indicated that he had been hit in his left eye by a cork while he was opening a sparkling wine bottle. He underwent a total ophthalmology examination. He had an important reduction of visual acuity, corneal swelling, Descemet’s folds, and hyphema. Therefore, we decided to perform ultrabiomicroscopy (UBM) of the anterior segment to study the endothelial damage and Descemet’s membrane. UBM images confirmed the direct biomicroscopy, highlighting the damaged location.
