Peripapillary Subretinal Space of the Blunt Traumatic Optic Neuropathy: RPE/Bruch’s Membrane Complex Micro-Rips - The Novel SD-OCT Findings

Aim: To report the unusual SD-OCT findings in peripapillary subretinal space of blunt traumatic optic neuropathy (TON). Methods: All patients underwent a comprehensive eye examination included color fundus photography, ultrasonography, fluorescein angiography, visual field, PVEP if patient’s vision was allowed to examine. An orbital CT scan performed for all and no fracture found. However, we did not assess them here assessed results only. Results: Peripapillary spaces four contused eyes were abnormal that showed flat, localized hyperreflection due hemorrhages. It adjacent disc. The intensities reflection could be nonuniform blood concentration or contained serous liquid. observed RPE/Bruch’s membrane complex micro-rips, but ELM normal involved space. Choroid rupture macula at times. Conclusion: For TON patients, examine by first time might have valuable diagnosis. suggested hemorrhages come from choriocapillaris.
