Subsequently, although all ophthalmic signs resolved, she complained of decreased vision in her left eye.Conclusion: Initial ophthalmic injury was detected by optical coherence tomography scan showing a neurosensory detachment of the fovea. This was not initially detected on slit-lamp examination or fluorescein angiography. On later examination, although the optical coherence tomography scan showed no structural damage, electrodiagnostic tests showed a functional defect at the fovea.Keywords: bungee jumping, optical coherence tomography, OCT, pattern electroretinogram, PERG, ocular complications |
