Spontaneous scleral rupture associated with retinochoroidal coloboma
Abstract We reported a case of ocular hypotony due to spontaneous scleral rupture in retinochoroidal coloboma and the treatment which was performed. This is a prospective case report in which a 21-year-old woman complained of abrupt vision loss in her left eye. Ocular hypotony due to spontaneous scleral rupture in retinochoroidal coloboma was identified through tests. An ultrassonography confirmed the scleral lesion but magnetic resonance imaging and fluorescein angiography have also proven to be useful. Due to the posterior location of the perforation, we opted for a sub-tenon injection of autologous blood and intraocular gas tamponade, which were successful, resulting in improved visual acuity and intraocular pressure. In this case, an alternative to invasive surgical procedure in the treatment of spontaneous scleral perforation and retinochoroidal coloboma was presented.
