Resumen
ANDONEGUI NAVARRO, J y PRAT MADRAZO, M. Bilateral traumatic retinopathy associated to whiplash injury. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2004, vol.79, n.4, pp.185-188. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: A 20-year old female complained of a paracentral scotoma after having suffered a whiplash injury. Eye fundus examination and fluorescein angiography suggested the diagnosis of traumatic retinopathy. Discussion: There is not a clear explanation to justify the development of traumatic retinopathy after an indirect ocular trauma. Some authors favour a mixed mechanism, mechanic and vascular, to explain these alterations. We consider that a vascular aetiology is the most possible explanation for the development of traumatic retinopathy.
