To report subtle yet important macular changes following a whiplash injury.
We report an unusual case of a healthy young male presenting with a three-month history of a drop in vision in both eyes following an accident while crash-landing from a parachute. There was no direct ocular injury. Fundus examination revealed a bilateral well-defined area of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) alterations over the macula with no other obvious retinal abnormality. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination revealed outer retinal layer defects with nearly intact inner retina.
This case highlights the importance of fundus evaluation and reviewing patient's visual symptoms in otherwise inapparent ocular trauma.
报告挥鞭样损伤后出现的细微但重要的黄斑变化。
我们报告一例不寻常的病例,一名健康年轻男性,在从降落伞紧急着陆的事故后,双眼视力下降3个月。无直接眼外伤。眼底检查发现黄斑区有双侧边界清晰的视网膜色素上皮(RPE)改变区域,无其他明显的视网膜异常。光学相干断层扫描(OCT)检查显示外层视网膜层缺损,内层视网膜几乎完整。
该病例突出了在其他不明显的眼外伤中进行眼底评估和审查患者视觉症状的重要性。
