Examinations showed an intact anterior capsule with posterior capsule rupture, complete dislocation of the lens cortex and nucleus into the vitreous cavity, zonular dehiscence, and optic disc pallor of unclear etiology. The patient underwent pars plana vitrectomy, lensectomy, and scleral-fixated intraocular lens (IOL) suspension. Postoperative visual acuity improved gradually, intraocular pressure (IOP) remained stable, and the IOL was well-centered.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Posterior capsule rupture with complete posterior lens dislocation is a rare ocular trauma. Multimodal imaging aids in definitive diagnosis, and individualized minimally invasive surgery is safe and effective.
