“…These findings were observed in our patient with the choroidal rupture, partially reaching the macular region and consequently permanently impairing the visual field. It is known that the choroid ruptures are associated with blunt trauma, either by direct or indirect mechanism (19,(28)(29)(30)(31)(32) . Retinal and macula whitening with a cherry aspect (Berlin edema) have also been reported after eye injuries, a condition that is known as commotio retinae (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27) .…”

RESUMO ABSTRACTThe objective of this study is to report a case of ocular trauma by gunshot bullet, which struck and lodged in the orbit, developing chorioretinitis sclopetaria. We also addressed the pathophysiological mechanism, the main clinical findings and laboratory tests, and treatment options. The characteristic of this case enhances the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the ocular trauma.

“…This occurs in 25 to 50% after one year of the choroid ruptures (6,(28)(29)(30)(31)(32) . Our patient is currently in the 18th month after injury, and is being closely monitored with fluorescein angioretinography, getting normal results so far.…”

“…Anti-VEGF therapy has been shown to be useful in a few reported cases1,9,10 of indirect traumatic CNV following blunt trauma, with good visual and anatomic recovery, often after a single injection. However, to the authors’ knowledge, there is only one reported case in the PubMed database describing the outcome of CNV secondary to IOFB direct choroidal rupture treated with bevacizumab 4.…”

We report an unusual case of choroidal neovascularization secondary to intraocular foreign body (IOFB) penetrating trauma. A 44-year-old man was referred to our department for IOFB trauma in the right eye. Vitrectomy and IOFB extraction was performed with good visual results. However, 2 months after surgery, he returned complaining of a drop in visual acuity. Choroidal neovascularization originating from a direct choroidal rupture at the IOFB impact site was observed. The patient was treated with 6-monthly intravitreal injections of antivascular endothelial growth factor, and showed regression of neovascularization and a final visual acuity of 20/80. IOFB trauma is a serious condition, indeed in spite of initially good results after a favorable surgical outcome. Choroidal neovascularization after direct traumatic choroidal rupture is usually aggressive and requires more active antivascular endothelial growth factor therapy.

“…3 Anti-VEGF therapy can therefore be an alternative treatment option for CNV related to traumatic choroidal rupture. [4][5][6][7][8] The use of bevacizumab for retinal vascular diseases, especially exudative age-related macular degeneration, is common in adults to treat subfoveal CNV. Recently this procedure has also been reported for vascular and inflammatory diseases in children.…”
