We reviewed all patients seen urgently on our Hospital and we studied those that present contusive pathology of the anterior pole with macular repercusion. Post-traumatic maculopathies are usually produced by contusion, namely: rupture of the choroid, chorioretinitis sclopetaria, postraumatic macular hole, commotio retinae (Berlin's oedema) and Purtscher's retinopathy was reported. With the presentation of these clinical cases, some of which are very typical, we aim to show the functional sequelae some patients suffer.
