Abstract
To report spontaneous choroidal hemorrhage with the expulsion of intraocular contents in an elderly female as a complication of microbial keratitis. Retrospective case report along with imaging. A 60-year-old female on treatment for microbial keratitis, presented with protrusion of intraocular contents and no perception of light in the right eye. Ophthalmic ultrasound demonstrated choroidal hemorrhage with coexistent retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage. She underwent uneventful evisceration for her condition. Microbial keratitis needs aggressive medical treatment to prevent associated stromal infiltration and corneal weakening. In cases of microbial keratitis, if spontaneous choroidal hemorrhage occurs, due to thinning of the cornea and compromised integrity of the eyeball, it can lead to the complete expulsion of intraocular contents with unsalvageable loss of vision.
