Post-traumatic macular hemorrhage occured on a idiopathic corioretineal scar

Abstract

Background. Macular haemorrhage can be caused by multiple factors such as sustained exposure to high altitude conditions, retinal artery aneurysm rupture or choroidal vasculopathy and also by trauma. Its origin is mandatory to be adequately described in order to ensure an accurate and complete differential diagnosis. Most traumatic lesions left untreated have an adverse prognostic due to mechanical damage caused by fibrinous infiltration of the retina.
