Anatomical correlate of a persistent paracentral scotoma after an airbag injury.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ocular injuries caused by deploying airbags are well-described in the literature and can be either mechanical or chemical in nature. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report describing an isolated paracentral scotoma noted immediately after an airbag injury. The use of optical coherence tomography revealed an anatomical correlate of the scotoma. The authors discuss a likely mechanism for focal damage to the retina based on these findings.

AIM Traumatic retinopathy presenting as acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMNR) is an uncommon disease causing paracentral scotomas after indirect trauma. METHODS We report on five patients (six eyes) with AMNR with a temporary reduction of visual acuity and persistent paracentral scotomas after indirect trauma. The findings were documented using multimodal imaging and the follow-up was up to 3...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to report a case of traumatic maculopathy with para-central visual field defects following an impact by airbag deployment using adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AO-SLO). CASE PRESENTATION A 51-year-old man was involved in a motor vehicular accident and his left eye was struck by the deployed airbag, resulting in a para-central scotoma. Th...

AIM To investigate an image distortion, experienced by patients with homonymous paracentral scotomas. METHODS Two consecutive patients with right inferior homonymous paracentral scotomas resulting from ischaemic brain insults were examined. Neuro-ophthalmological examination included tangent screen and Amsler grid evaluation. In addition, the patients were asked to describe a figure showing t...
