Abstract

Purpose: To present a rare case of foveal atrophy following traumatic central serous chorioretinopathy.

Methods: The case was evaluated through a comprehensive ophthalmic assessment including visual acuity, fundus examination and OCT scans.

Results: A 40-year-old female experienced severe blunt trauma to her right eye and presented to the emergency unit of a specialized ophthalmic hospital with significantly decreased vision (OD counting fingers at 1 meter, OS 6/6). Fundus examination reveals an obvious macular neurosensory retinal detachment with subretinal fluid in the right eye as confirmed by OCT. After 1 month, another OCT was performed, demonstrating the complete resolution of subretinal fluid, but with foveal atrophy and visual acuity remain counting fingers for a 1-meter distance in her affected eye.

Conclusion: Trauma as a cause for CSR is highly unusual or rare. However, foveal atrophy as a result of traumatic CSR in a one-month follow-up was not previously reported in the literature.

Keywords: Central serous chorioretinopathy, trauma, foveal atrophy, traumatic CSR
