This section is a part of the chapter: Inverted Flap Technique for Posttraumatic macula Hole Surgery in a Young Male Patient in Sub-Saharan Africa A 32-year-old young man sustained blunt ocular trauma to his left eye while under training seven months prior to presentation. This was associated with periorbital swelling and immediate reduction in vision. Vision improved over the next two weeks with resolution of the periorbital swelling but he then noticed his central vision was affected. He was unable to read with his left eye and the images appeared distorted. He is not a known spectacle wearer and is otherwise in good health. Examination revealed unaided visual acuities of 6/6 on the right and 6/60 on the left with no improvement in refraction. Anterior segments were normal, with round and reactive pupils and a full range of extraocular muscle movements in both eyes. Intraocular pressures were 11mmHg in both eyes by applanation tonometry. Fundoscopy revealed flat retinae, and extensive linear chorioretina scars in the posterior pole suggestive of healed choroidal ruptures. There was a posttraumatic stage 4 macula hole measuring 877 microns on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). How to Cite Oderinlo, O., Hassan, A. O., & Okonkwo, O. (2025).
