A 29-year-old female patient presented with best corrected visual acuity of hand movements in the right eye (OD) 1-week after blunt trauma. On examination, the anterior segment was found to be normal and fundus [Figure 1] revealed subfoveal choroidal rupture with epiretinal membrane (ERM) in the shape of an inverted Echinops setifer flower. In this scenario, both inner and outer retinal layers were affected, with proliferation of glial cells forming ERM and subfoveal retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)–Bruch's membrane–choroidal complex disruption, respectively.[1],[2] According to the literature, there are no reports on a contemporaneous choroidal rupture with ERM developing within 1-week post-trauma. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) [Figure 2] was performed, and conservative management was advised.[3],[4],[5],[6],[7] | Figure 1: (a) Colour fundus image revealing the subfoveal choroidal rupture with contemporaneous epiretinal membrane (ERM) and surrounding internal limiting membrane (ILM) folds in the shape of an inverted Echinops setifer flower, 1-week post blunt trauma. (b) Infrared fundus image of the same pathology. (c) Autofluorescence fundus image of the same pathology. (d) Colour fundus image at 3-month follow-up, showing mild enlargement of ERM, with the concomitant development of subfoveal scarring, at the site of choroidal rupture

The integrity of the IS/OS junction and neurosensory retinal layers are lost, with the subretinal fluid (green asterisk) at the foveal region, suggesting a poor visual prognosis.
