Aim: This study aims to report the development of secondary CNVM following choroidal rupture after blunt trauma with a cricket ball.
Case Report: A 16 year old boy reported to us with dimness of vision in right eye following trauma with a cricket ball. His BCVA in Right eye was finger counting at 1 meter. On examination, he had Berlin’s edema with choroidal rupture at the macula with a breakthrough Vitreous hemorrhage. He was treated with oral steroids on tapering dose. His vision improved to 6/18 in that eye after 1 month of treatment. After 10 months post injury, his vision dropped to 6/36p in the right eye and on examination, he was noted as developing a CNVM. He was treated with intravitreal antiVEGF 2 times. He is doing well post that.
Conclusion: Choroidal rupture following blunt trauma can lead to secondary CNVM which can be successfully managed with intravitreal antiVEGFs.
