BACKGROUND: Scleral fistulas have been reported to occur in choroidal colobomas, and their repair has been described in the literature. Spontaneous closure of a posttraumatic fistula has not been reported.PURPOSE: To describe the occurrence of posttraumatic scleral fistula formation and its spontaneous closure in an eye with an atypical choroidal coloboma.METHODS: Interventional case report.RESULTS: Spontaneous closure of the posttraumatic scleral fistula was noted at 1-month follow-up. This was documented clinically and confirmed by B-scan ultrasound.CONCLUSION: Scleral fistula formation can occur at the base of a choroidal coloboma after blunt injury, and this can close spontaneously over a period of time.
