Abstract
The aim of this study is to report a case of bilateral traumatic maculopathy in a 19-year-old male following blunt trauma during 2020 coronavirus disease-2019 national lockdown. Descriptive case report based on data from clinical records, patient observation, and analysis of diagnostic tests. A previously healthy, 19-year-old male presented for a visit in our department at 15-20 National Ophthalmology Institute with complaints of bilateral decreased visual acuity. A history of recent blunt trauma caused by resistance band was reported. Fundus examination recorded fibrosis and inferior preretinal hemorrhages on both eyes. Peripheral retinal examination was normal. Optical coherence tomography showed bilateral increased reflectivity, disruption of the inner/outer segment, and loss of the external limiting membrane. The 6-week follow-up did not show a major recovery. Early detection of posterior segment damage after blunt trauma remains primordial despite worldwide pandemic.
