Abstract

Introduction: Coloboma is a congenital malformation caused by a defect of optic fissure closure. We report a rare case of choroidal coloboma and management of possible complications.

Clinical case: A 37-year-old patient presented for the current evaluation of uveal coloboma located in the inferior-nasal quadrant with the involvement of the optic disc and advanced high myopia.

Conclusions: The management of coloboma includes follow-up of visual acuity level, anterior segment and fundus evaluations. Retinal detachment, cataract and choroidal neovascularization may occur secondary to the defect. Pars plana vitrectomy, autologous neurosensory retinal transplantation and laser therapy are considered methods in present case.
