Aborted choroidal coloboma: fundus imaging and optical coherence tomography.

Choroidal coloboma is characterised by poor embryonic development of chorioretinal structures and is of different types. We present a case of choroidal coloboma where the retinal pigment epithelium was present, clinically and on imaging, but rest of the structures were poorly formed. This observation suggests that in some cases, fusion of the fetal cleft may occur aberrantly, resulting in an aborted choroidal coloboma. © BMJ Publishing Group Ltd (unless otherwise stated in the text of the article) 2017.
