Abstract
Purpose: :
to report fundus autofluorescence and OCT findings of blunt ocular trauma.
Methods: :
Six eyes of 6 consecutive patients with blunt ocular trauma were evaluated in an observational case series with color fundus photography, the Heidelberg Retina Angiograph 2 (HRA2) system for fundus autofluorescence and optical coherence topography (Stratus OCT).
Results: :
Six patients with recent history of blunt ocular trauma were included. Three patients presented with secondary retinal pigment epitheliopathy that was identified as a hypoautofluorescent plaque with smaller interposed hyperautofluorescent granular lesions. The other three patients had subretinal hemorrhage and choroidal rupture, which appeared hypoautofluorescent with a hyperautofluorescent rim after resolution. OCT demonstrated the choroidal rupture and its resolution over time.
