A CASE REPORT OF POST TRAUMATIC HYPOTONOUS MACULOPATHY WITH CYCLODIALYSIS CLEFT

SINDHUSHREE R RAJAGOPAL

Abstract


Hypotonous maculopathy is a condition  characterized by hypotony associated with fundus  abnormalities, including disc edema, vascular tortuosity, and chorioretinal folds. Incidence of hypotony maculopathy is high following glaucoma filtering surgeries but can also occur  following trauma .Once the cause is known, patients should be treated as soon as possible because delayed  normalization of the intraocular pressure (IOP) may result in permanent macular chorioretinal changes and poor vision. Very few cases of traumatic hypotonous maculopathy has been described in literature.
