title: Spontaneous rupture of chorioretinal coloboma in an 8-year-old child is treated by temporal fascia graft.
abstract: We report the rare case of an 8-year-old boy with spontaneous scleral perforation secondary to an isolated congenital chorioretinal coloboma. Visual acuity was 20/200 and examination revealed severe hypotony with subcapsular cataract, complete exudative retinal detachment, hypotonous optic nerve swelling, and hypotony retinal fold. In the temporal periphery, there was a chorioretinal coloboma with a central full-thickness defect. The scleral defect was successfully treated with an autologous temporalis fascia graft. One year later, and after cataract surgery, visual acuity had improved to 20/20, with normal intraocular pressure.
