A Case of Expansion of Traumatic Choroidal Rupture with Delayed-Developed Outer Retinal Changes

BACKGROUND: This study aims to report the expansion of a choroidal rupture site caused by blunt ocular trauma using scanning laser ophthalmoscope-optical coherence tomography. CASE REPORT: The clinical course of a 15-year-old girl with a traumatic ocular injury after being hit in the eye by an elbow...

description BACKGROUND: This study aims to report the expansion of a choroidal rupture site caused by blunt ocular trauma using scanning laser ophthalmoscope-optical coherence tomography. CASE REPORT: The clinical course of a 15-year-old girl with a traumatic ocular injury after being hit in the eye by an elbow was evaluated. Upon the first examination, the best-corrected visual acuity was 16/20. The findings were subretinal pigment epithelial hemorrhage and vertical choroidal rupture. Three weeks after the trauma, the patient's visual acuity was reduced to counting fingers at 30 cm. On fundus examination and fluorescein angiography subretinal pigment epithelial hemorrhage decreased, while the choroidal rupture expanded; on optical coherence tomography outer retinal changes in the adjacent area were detected. DISCUSSION: This study reveals that the delayed expansion of a choroidal rupture site and the delayed change of the adjacent outer retina improved.
