Abstract

Hypotonous maculopathy is a condition characterized by hypotony associated with fundus abnormalities, including disc edema, vascular tortuosity, and chorioretinal folds. Incidence of hypotony maculopathy is high following glaucoma filtering surgeries but can also occur following trauma .Once the cause is known, patients should be treated as soon as possible because delayed normalization of the intraocular pressure (IOP) may result in permanent macular chorioretinal changes and poor vision. Very few cases of traumatic hypotonous maculopathy has been described in literature.
