چکیده
PURPOSE To investigate clinical, anatomic and electroretinographic changes in eyes that suffered blunt ocular trauma with commotio retinae. METHODS Patients who presented commotio retinae after unilateral blunt ocular trauma less then 72 hours before were submitted to visual acuity testing, biomicroscopy, binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography and full-field electroretinography. Full-field ERG was repeated after 15 and 30 days. RESULTS Sixteen patients were included in the study. On the first examination there was a statistically significant difference between affected and fellow eye in all response amplitudes, without b/a ratio alteration, and a delay in single-flash cone response and 30-Hz flicker implicit time. On the second examination, the difference between the eyes remained for oscillatory potentials, but disappeared on the last examination. In fluorescein angiography, all patients presented mottled hyperfluorescence and hypofluorescent areas, due to alterations in the pigment barrier. On optical coherence tomography, we found optically empty spaces at the site of the lesion. CONCLUSION Found changes suggested photoreceptor and ganglion cells, but not Müller cell functional alterations, as well as pigment mobilization. These changes disappeared 30 days after the trauma.

Caspase-9 mediates photoreceptor death after blunt ocular trauma.
PURPOSE Ocular trauma is common in civilian and military populations. Commotio retinae involves acute disruption of photoreceptor outer segments after blunt ocular trauma, with subsequent photoreceptor apoptosis causing permanent visual impairment. The mechanisms of photoreceptor death in commotio retinae have not previously been described, although caspase-dependent death is important in other...
متن کاملChoroidal blood flow impairment demonstrated using laser speckle flowgraphy in a case of commotio retinae
Purpose To report the time course of choroidal blood flow (CBF) in a commotio retinae case using laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG). Observations A 58-year-old Japanese man with complaints of worsening left visual acuity after blunt eye trauma was diagnosed with commotio retinae. A funduscopic examination showed macular opacity, and LSFG results demonstrated CBF impairment in the affected eye.Op...

PURPOSE To report on the anatomical and functional changes to the macula in nine patients suffering from commotio retinae not accompanied by any other types of traumatic retinopathy. METHODS Nine injured eyes with commotio retinae were evaluated soon after ocular trauma with ophthalmic examination, including Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). In 12 eyes of 6 patients, Hump...

PURPOSE To demonstrate the cross-sectional anatomy in acute commotio retinae. METHODS A 27-year-old male with unilateral decreased vision after acute blunt ocular trauma, was examined by optical coherence tomography (OCT). RESULTS Visual acuity was 20/20 OD and 20/50 OS. Fundus examination OS demonstrated a mild edema in the papillomacular and foveal area. OCT confirmed a separation of the ...
