Abstract
Blunt trauma to the eye may cause several types of macular abnormalities, including commotio retinae, macular hole, intraretinal and subretinal hemorrhage, and choroidal rupture. In most cases the diagnosis is readily apparent; however, the complex appearance of simultaneous hemorrhage, pigmentary change, and ruptured tissue planes may be confusing. The authors present two cases of blunt trauma in young males that resulted in a subretinal hemorrhage that became yellow and was initially misinterpreted as a vitelliform lesion. A history of trauma should be sought in any patient with the clinical appearance of a yellow subretinal lesion.
