Berlin’s Edema with Atypical Optical Coherence Tomography Findings: A Case Report

Berlin’s edema is an acute traumatic maculopathy following ocular blunt trauma, with the major site of injury is photoreceptor outer segments and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a useful tool to diagnose and follow microstructural changes in Berlin’s edema. In this report, we present an atypical case of Berlin’s edema that resembled Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. OCT demonstrated multiple neurosensory detachments and giant cystic changes of the outer retina. Fluorescein angiography showed no dye leakage or vascular alterations. The patient was treated with a short period of topical and systemic corticosteroids, and she improved significantly within a few weeks.
