The pathogensis of choroidal vascular changes in traumatic rtinopethy remains uncertain.We performed scanning electron micrmcopie (SEM) observation of methyl methalerylare vascular corrosion casts in a rabbi model with severe retinal contusion. Areas of filling defects in corrosion casts of the choriocapillaries, correspending to the areas of impact retinal lesions were noted in the traumatized eyes one to 28 days after trauma.No neovascularization was found in the eyes 56 days after trauma. The results confirm that obstruction and disappearance of involved choriocapillaries are the main changes of choroidal vasculatrue in severe blunt tram. The changes may be associated with continuous necrosis, of the photoreceptors 4 weeks after injury. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1993,9:5-7)
