Abstract EN
Self-enucleation is a very unusual form of self-mutilation directly linked to mental illness.
In this case we present a 26-year-old schizophrenic patient who attempted to enucleate his eye with a rollerball pen.
Antipsychotic therapy and emergency surgery saved the patient eye and emphasize the importance of quick response and good collaboration between psychiatric and ophthalmic teams.
