Abstract

Relevance. Over the past decade, clinical cases of central serous chorioretinopathy after an eye injury have increasingly appeared in the press. Purpose. Currently, there are no cases of description of central serous chorioretinopathy after an explosive injury in the literature available for review. Presenting our clinical case, we will try to fill this gap. Methods. A 41-year-old man with concomitant injuries was admitted to inpatient treatment at a multidisciplinary clinic after a close detonation of a high-powered explosive device. At the end of the second week from the moment of injury, against the background of an improvement in the general well-being of the patient, the «flickering spot» in front of the gaze of the left eye began to actively disturb. On the 21st day after injury, both eyes were examined using an optical coherence tomograph with a rocking source (OCT) DRI OCT Triton by Topcon (Japan). In the lower quadrants on the edge of the macula of the left eye, a serous detachment of the neuroepithelium was detected with dimensions of 5310×5253 μm and a maximum height of 706 μm with two detachments of the retinal pigment epithelium. On the 28th day from the moment of injury, during the control OCT study, flattening was noted, but with an increase in the area of serous detachment of the neuroepithelium and the preservation of detachments of the retinal pigment epithelium. In connection with the professional requirements for the patient's state of health, delimiting laser coagulation of the retina was performed against the background of the treatment of concomitant pathology. Results and discussion. On the 33rd day after the injury, complete adherence of the serous detachment of the neuroepithelium and detachments of the retinal pigment epithelium was noted with the disappearance of the patient's complaints. Conclusion. The presented clinical case is of great interest, since eye trauma and, in particular, explosive trauma are quite rare causes of the development of central serous chorioretinopathy.
