Abstract
Choroidal rupture consists in the rupture of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), Bruch’s membrane, and choroid. The main cause of choroidal rupture is blunt trauma, where up to 10% of individuals suffering from this type of trauma may present with this association (Williams et al. 1990).
