Jason PY - 2021 T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Blunt or penetrating trauma to the eye may result in a ruptured globe. The diagnosis is obvious when orbital contents spill from the globe itself. Occult presentations manifest as a tiny rent in the sclera. Ruptures at the limbus, the margin between the cornea and sclera, may cause a small amount of iris to herniate, resulting in an irregularly shaped “teardrop” or “peaked” pupil. Choroidal rupture may also occur. A coloboma of the iris may appear similar to a teardrop pupil.
