Ruptura coroidea y neovascularización coroidea secundarias a trauma con seguimiento de 24 años. Reporte de caso / Choroidal rupture with choroidal neovascularization secondary to trauma. Case report with 24 years follow-up

Objetivo: describir el seguimiento clínico por 24 años de una ruptura coroidea y su neovascularización coroidea secundaria a trauma ocular cerrado. Efectuar una revisión bibliográfica de esta patología. Destacar la importancia de observaciones prolongadas para completar su historia natural. Diseño: reporte de caso no intervencionista. Método: retrospectivo, en caso de trauma ocular cerrado y sus consecuencias estudiadas en seguimiento cuidadoso de 24 años y la ayuda diagnóstica de la tomografía óptica coherente, la fluoroangiografía y el campo visual. Resultado: reconocimiento de glaucoma y catarata que disminuyeron la visión a 20/120 veinticuatro años después de la contusión ocular. Conclusión: La neovascularizacion coroidea secundaria a ruptura coroidea traumática subfoveal aparece en tiempo variable luego de trauma ocular contuso, compromete la recuperación anatómica y visual, y es de pronóstico reservado de acuerdo con su localización según hallazgos en observación prolongada.

Purpose: to describe findings and follow-up for 24 years in a choroidal rupture with secondary choroidal neovascularization following closed ocular trauma. To perform a literature review on this topic. To remark the importance of long follow-up to complete natural history of disease. Design: non-interventional case report. Methods: retrospective, in a case ofbclosed ocular trauma and sequels on a follow-up of 24 years using optical coherence tomography and fl uorescein angiography as diagnostic techniques. Results: recognition of glaucoma, cataract and decreased visual acuity to 20/120. Conclusion: choroidal neovascularization following indirect subfoveal traumatic choroidal rupture may occur in variable time after blunt trauma, affecting ocular structures and visual function with poor prognosis demonstrated on long follow-up.

A Case of Full Thickness Macular Hole Secondary to Old Traumatic Choroidal Rupture

PURPOSE: We report a case of a full-thickness macular hole which occurred many years after a blunt eye trauma leading to choroidal rupture. CASE SUMMARY: A 50-year-old male visited our clinic with a complaint of decreased vision in his left eye 2 years in duration. He experienced a blunt trauma to his left eye with a baseball when he was 6 years old, although he did not complain of any visual disturbance in the left eye at that time. Fundus examination revealed a full-thickness macular hole with vertical fibrotic scar at the temporal side of the macula, which was thought to be a choroidal rupture induced by the previous blunt eye trauma. We performed vitrectomy and intravitreal tamponade injection. Two months later, the full-thickness macular hole completely closed and visual acuity of the left eye improved.
