Abstract

“Nonmechanical closed-globe injuries of the inner coatings (the ciliary body, the choroid and the retina) of the globe” has not been defined in the classifications of both BETT (Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology) (Kuhn et al. 2008) and OTCS (Ocular Trauma Classification System) (Pieramici et al. 1997) clearly, and, besides, those can be categorized as follows.
