Choroidoretinal vascular anastomoses after blunt trauma to the eye.
Six weeks after blunt ocular trauma in a 38-year-old white man, choroidoretinal vascular anastomoses occurred at the site of choroidal and retinal rupture. Neovascularization was not observed. Anastomoses of this type have been documented in other cicatrizing and granulomatous disease processes.
