Published: November 2020

Traumatic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment after blunt ocular trauma is a known entity. A tractional macular detachment occurring posttrauma without a retinal break is a unique presentation. A 25-year-old gentleman after blunt ocular trauma with a ball presented a week later with a vision of 20/800, large subretinal bleed and resolving vitreous hemorrhage in the right eye. Three weeks later, an extensive glial proliferation at the posterior pole and macular tractional retinal detachment was noted with the worsening of visual acuity. A vitrectomy, membrane peeling, and silicone oil tamponade with a subsequent silicone oil removal at 6 months stabilized the macula, and vision improved to 20/120. A tractional macular detachment post blunt trauma is rare albeit an interesting occurrence, which can be effectively managed with vitrectomy and allied procedures.
