ABSTRACT
Chorioretinal coloboma is caused by the incomplete closure of the embryonic fissure during fetal development. It can
occur in the eyelid, iris, lens, retina, choroid or optic nerve. Anatomical alterations in the colobomatous eye include
atrophic retina, staphylocatous sclera, absence of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), Bruch's membrane and choroid.
They are bilateral in 60%. Usually asymptomatic, however, it can help multiorgan organizations associated with the
cardiovascular, nervous, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, genitourinary and nasopharyngeal systems.They usually
present retinal detachment and choroidal neovacularization as complications, so it is advisable to keep them under
surveillance. There is no treatment for chorioretinal coloboma, management depends on the conditions and
complications that can occur each patient.We report the case of a 47-year-old male patient with a history of traumatic
amputation of the right thoracic limb due to exposure to fireworks, as well as blurred vision, foreign body sensation and
bilateral red eye. In the physical and radiological exploration is the finding of chorioretinal coloboma of an incidental
way.
