| description | We present a patient with bilateral multifocal serous retinal detachments after multiple trauma in a car accident without preceding corticosteroid treatment. A 37-year-old patient was admitted to our hospital after he had suffered multiple body injuries in a car accident. After being woken from an induced coma, he complained of blurry vision in his left eye, so he underwent a complete ophthalmic examination – several serous retinal detachments were found at the posterior pole of both eyes, along with thickened choroids. As there was no intraocular inflammation, accelerated hypertension or other changes indicating other causes of serous retinal detachments, and since we observed a steady spontaneous subretinal fluid resorption, we classified our case as an atypical central serous chorioretinopathy. Alternatively, serous retinal detachments could have occurred due to transient alterations in choroidal circulation following cerebral injury. In conclusion, this case report adds new data on the occurrence of serous retinal detachments and discusses their possible aetiology in the trauma setting. Care must be taken not to miss any other underlying pathology needing treatment. |
