Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this study was to define a novel sign in ophthalmology, the Triangle sign, and assess its sensitivity and specificity in differentiating the similar-looking Morgagnian cataract with the resorbed cortex from the inferiorly subluxated lens.

Methods – A total of 18 were included in this study, ten with Morgagnian cataract with resorbed cortex and eight with an inferiorly subluxated cataractous lens. The sensitivity and specificity of this sign in differentiating Morgagnian cataract with resorbed cortex from an inferiorly subluxated lens were assessed.

Results – A statistically significant sensitivity and specificity was observed with this sign in differentiating these two conditions.

Conclusion – This novel sign of great help in differentiating these two similar conditions, especially for the residents in training.
