Abstract

A case of chorioretinitis sclopetaria caused by a grazing injury from a fishing line sinker was reported. A man was struck in his left orbit by the sinker, and immediately lost visual acuity. The sinker was removed, but funduscopy showed the typical appearance of chorioretinitis sclopetaria six months later. On fluorescein angiography, mottled background fluorescence appeared in a star-shaped scar. Fluorescein angiography, computed tomography, and roentgenography indicated that direct damage to the ciliary vessels was present.
