Complete absence of the outer retina and adhesion of the inner retina to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) was evident on SD‐OCT [Figure 3]. It has been a widely held view that traumatic retinoschisis is seen in no other condition except shaken baby syndrome.[1,2]
Summary
Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Features of Traumatic Macular Retinoschisis. A 30‐year‐old man noticed acute visual loss in his left eye following explosion of a vehicle tire tube while inflating. Snellen visual acuity (VA) was 20/20 in the right eye and 2 meters counting fingers in the left eye. A small area of temporal conjunctival hemorrhage, anterior chamber red blood cells (1+), and inferotemporal iridodialysis extending 3 clock hours were evident on slit lamp biomicroscopy. Fundus examination revealed thickening and yellow discoloration of the macula and a mild vitreous hemorrhage [Figure 1]. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) of the left eye showed disruption of the foveal anatomy. The central foveal thickness was recorded as 767 μm [Figure 2]
