Abstract EN

Open globe injury (OGI) is a severe form of eye trauma.

It is an important cause of monocular blindness worldwide.

Ruptures from blunt trauma are most common at the sites where the sclera is thinnest, at the insertions of the extraocular muscles, and at the limbus.

Most often, rupture is equatorial.

We present a unique case of open globe injury due to blunt ocular trauma from a thrown rock that resulted in a meridional rupture of the eye.

The pertinent literature is reviewed.
