Open Globe Injury with Choroidal and Retinal Detachment

Traumatic retinal detachments can result from blunt or penetrating trauma. Suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a painful condition often seen in association with trauma. Diagnosis of retinal and choroidal detachments often requires a Bscan ultrasonic examination as vitreous hemorrhage precludes the view of the posterior segment and thus the clinical diagnosis. The presence of a retinal detachment along with choroidal detachment in the case of open globe injury is an indication for early intervention.
