Commotio retinae or Berlin’s edema occurs in the setting of non-penetrating, blunt globe trauma. It may affect any area of the retina and is generally self-limited, but when the macula is involved visual acuity may be permanently decreased.
There is retinal whitening due to damage of the outer retinal layers. The whitening is generally patchy with ill-defined borders and does not follow a vascular distribution (Fig. 19.1.1).
