SANCHEZ FERREIRO, A.V.  and  BARREIRO GONZALEZ, J.R.. Atypical traumatic scleral rupture: Presentation of a case. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2012, vol.87, n.8, pp.253-255. ISSN 0365-6691.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.oftal.2011.10.010.

Case report: We describe the case of a 42 year-old man who, after suffering an eye contusion, subsequently presented with a posterior scleral rupture, which was diagnosed using orbital computed tomography (OCT), and controlled without surgical treatment. The OCT performed two weeks later showed that the eyeball was intact. Conclusions: A scleral rupture must be suspected when these three characteristics are present: hyphema, subconjunctival and vitreous haemorrhage.
