RESUMOApresentamos caso de capsulorrexe em duplo anel em paciente feminina de 81 anos. O espécime cirúrgico foi submetido a estudo anatomopatológico que evidenciou os achados típicos da capsulorrexe em duplo anel. Comentamos a possível relação com a exfoliação capsular verdadeira. Salientamos que é possível realizar a cirurgia com bom resultado mesmo que o duplo anel não seja completo -como no caso apresentado -, porém desde que os folhetos capsulares estejam fundidos de forma contínua.Descritores: Extração da catarata; Catarata/patologia; Capsulorrexe; Cápsula do cristalino/cirurgia; Cápsula do cristalino/ patologia; Relatos de casos ABSTRACTWe present a case of double ring capsulorhexis in a 81 year-old female patient. Surgical specimen was submitted to histopathologic study resulting in typical double ring capsulorhexis findings. We discuss the questioned relation to true capsular exfoliation. We call attention to the fact that it is possible to obtain a good surgical result even when the double ring is not complete -as the case presented -, since both capsular flaps are fused in a continuous form.
