Mallika Goyal, MD » Traumatic optic neuropathy with macular scar

Left eye of a 36-year-old male patient reveals a large macular scar and trace disc pallor 4 weeks after blunt injury with left orbital fracture in a road accident. Vitreous heme at presentation had obscured fundus visualisation and he was treated with intravenous steroids for presumed traumatic optic neuropathy due to relative afferent pupillary defect.

Left eye of a 36-year-old male patient reveals extensive chorioretinal atrophy in the inferior mid-periphery and periphery 4 weeks after blunt injury with left orbital fracture in a road accident. The atrophy is likely secondary to gravitational inferior tracking of massive submacular bleed during the concussion.
