Berlin's Edema

Berlin's Edema
Severe blunt trauma to the eye can result in damage of the posterior retina: a massive edema at the whole posterior pole has developed. Since the retina in the fovea is very thin the edema is not visible, it appears more reddish in the white surroundings. In addition there are small hemorrhages.
