Clinical presentation of chorioretinitis sclopetaria.
OBJECTIVE
To report the clinical manifestations of a case of chorioretinitis sclopetaria.


METHODS
Observational case report.


RESULTS
A 30-year-old prison inmate sustained a traumatic injury to his left eye. Fundus examination showed a large chorioretinal detachment revealing bare sclera, vitreous hemorrhage, and commotio retinae.


CONCLUSIONS
The patient was diagnosed with chorioretinitis sclopetaria. Given the mechanism of injury, retinal detachment is rare. Observation is appropriate as initial management.
