In institutions such as ours, a tertiary general hospital, where such fractures are initially managed by a non-ophthalmic team such as trauma or maxillofacial surgeons, we would advocate for prompt referral to the ophthalmology team for assessment as described by our case of a choroidal rupture in the setting of multi-trauma.Keywords: choroidal rupture, multi trauma, facial fracture, orbital fracture, maxillofacial
