Figure 1. Fundus photography 12h after the accident, presenting diffuse retinal oedema and cherry red spot.
Figure 2
Figure 2. Initial and 3mo OCT following the trauma
A: Initial OCT presenting an irregular foveal contour with a hyperreflective, thickened inner retina. The outer retina is relatively hyporeflective because of blocking form the thickened inner retina. The inner-outer segment junction and the external limiting membrane are intact; B: OCT image 3mo following the trauma presents the normal foveal contour with discrete residues of the intraretinal oedema.

Figure 3. Fundus photography and fluorescein angiography 3mo following the trauma
A: Fundus photography presenting optic nerve head pallor and residues of retinal oedema; B: FA presenting restored central retinal flow, leakage around optic nerve head.
