TRAUMA

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 08/07/2020

This patient was shot several times in the head and remarkably survived.

He underwent numerous retinal procedures at an outside hospital for a retinal detachment, and currently has light perception (LP) vision.

Examination revealed extensive chorioretinal scarring with a mostly detached retina under silicone oil.

A large retinal break, possibly from an intraoperative retinectomy, was seen nasally.

Learning Points:
Traumatic retinal detachments can occur from blunt trauma or from perforating injury to the eye.
