Bulging left eye globe

Case Discussion
Staphyloma refers to the thinning and stretching of the sclera, resulting in the bulging of the uvea, which may be anterior, posterior, or equatorial. Patients present with a bulging, protruding eye globe and experience a loss of vision. Imaging perspectives show an elongated eye globe, with focal anterior protrusion and a thinned-out scleral uveal rim.
Differential diagnoses include coloboma, axial myopia, and congenital glaucoma.
