Ocular complications of bungee jumping.
OBJECTIVE
In this paper, we will try to highlight the importance of various investigations and their crucial role in identifying whether the defect is structural or functional.


METHODS
A 24-year-old woman presented with ocular complications after bungee jumping. Subsequently, although all ophthalmic signs resolved, she complained of decreased vision in her left eye.


CONCLUSIONS
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.
