The authors have recently experienced a case of traumatic retinal angiopathy of 1.5 year old child which followed immediately a relatively minor injury on the head. 5 days after the accident, external examination of both eyes appeared normal and the fundi showed retinal edema, numerous superficial whitish exudates and flame-shaped retinal hemorrhages predominantly between the disc and macula. X-ray examinations of skull and chest revealed no evidence of fracture. Complete blood cell count, urinalysis, stool and cerebrospinal fluid findings were normal limits. Abnormal neurological signs were not detected; The area of exudates gradually .absorbed over a period of one month but hemorrhages were still remained around the macula. The peripheral vision seemed to be improved but central fixation remained poor. 2 months later the fundi presented optic atrophy, attenuated arterial caliberation and cherry red spot at each macula.
