“…9 The maturation of retinal pigment epitheliopathy is characterized by the onset of hypo-autofluorescence surrounding speckles of hyper-autofluorescence on serial imaging (Figure 2). [9][10][11] It is unclear precisely how long after injury the FAF findings of traumatic retinal pigment epitheliopathy can first be discerned. Several studies noted traumatic retinal pigment epitheliopathy on FAF at one month, but they also employed a one month followup interval after initial injury; Lavinsky et al have described early hypo-autofluorescence appearing as early as one week after injury.…”

“…Several studies noted traumatic retinal pigment epitheliopathy on FAF at one month, but they also employed a one month followup interval after initial injury; Lavinsky et al have described early hypo-autofluorescence appearing as early as one week after injury. [9][10][11][12] Use of FAF imaging may also be useful in identifying peripheral retinal pathology following the blunt ocular injury. An area of hypo-autofluorescence surrounding peripheral lattice degeneration was identified as shallow retinal detachment in patient 4 (Figure 3).…”

Purpose To investigate the clinical and anatomic characteristics of soccer ball-induced posterior segment injuries in the era of modern multi-modal imaging. Methods Retrospective case series of patients with soccer ball injury and diagnostic imaging from 2007 to 2020 at a single vitreoretinal practice. Results Eight patients met inclusion criteria. Fundus photographs (FP) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were obtained in eight patients, fundus autofluorescence (FAF) in five patients, fluorescein angiography (FA) in three patients, and en-face OCT and OCT-Angiography (OCT-A) were obtained in two patients each. FA and FAF identified traumatic pigment epitheliopathy secondary to commotio. Increased hypo-autofluorescence was associated with shallow, peripheral retinal detachment on FAF. OCT of the macula displayed outer retinal changes associated with commotio, and offered insight into the acute and subacute changes of traumatic macular hole formation. A patient displayed foveal hyper-reflectivity in the shape of an hourglass with retinal cyst at the level of the external limiting membrane (ELM) as seen on OCT and En-face OCT. A patient with commotio involving the macula lacked microvascular changes on OCT-A. Conclusion OCT, FA, and FAF imaging may aid in the work-up and management of the soccer ball-related posterior segment injuries.

“…[689] Most recently, Lavinsky et al ., evaluated six eyes of six consecutive patients within 30 days of sustaining blunt ocular trauma secondary to rock ( n = 3), piece of wood ( n = 1), and motor vehicle accident ( n = 2). [5] In this study, three patients presented with RPE epitheliopathy and three with subretinal hemorrhage with choroidal rupture.…”

We describe complimentary imaging technologies in traumatic chorioretinal injury. Color and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) images were obtained with a non-mydriatic retinal camera. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) helped obtain detailed images of retinal structure. Microperimetry was used to evaluate the visual function. A 40-year-old man sustained blunt ocular trauma with a stone. Color fundus image showed a large chorioretinal scar in the macula. Software filters allowed detailed illustration of extensive macular fibrosis. A 58-year-old man presented with blunt force trauma with a tennis ball. Color fundus imaging showed a crescentric area of macular choroidal rupture with fibrosis. FAF imaging delineated an area of hypofluorescence greater on fundus imaging. OCT showed chorioretinal atrophy in the macula. Microperimetry delineated an absolute scotoma with no response to maximal stimuli. Fundus imaging with digital filters and FAF illustrated the full extent of chorioretinal injury, while OCT and microperimetry corroborated the structure and function correlations.
