Abstract
Commotio retinae or Berlin’s edema is an acute traumatic maculopathy complicating blunt eye trauma. It is characterized by a transient retinal opacification affecting particularly the macular area. Its functional evolution is very variable, ranging from complete recovery to profound visual deficits with an acute and permanent visual loss. We report two cases of Commotio retinae (Berlin’s edema) occurring after blunt ocular trauma of different severity and we emphasize the interest of OCT in the diagnosis, monitoring and prognostic evaluation of traumatic maculopathy.
