AB  - An unusual extensive bilateral macular oedema (MO) with spontaneous resolution 
      occurred following a car crash accident. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of 
      the macular region using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) 
      and multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) was performed daily during the first 
      7 days, as well as at 3 and 6 months following the accident. SD-OCT examination 
      demonstrated extensive MO accompanied by neurosensory detachment and subretinal 
      fluid. During the 7 days following the accident there was gradual resolution of 
      the oedema accompanied by visual recovery. One year later no anatomical changes 
      were observed, the mfERG showed complete recovery and visual acuity returned to 
      normal level. Although whiplash is a common injury in motor vehicle accidents, 
      whiplash maculopathy (WMP) is rarely reported, most likely due to underdiagnosis. 
      Here we describe the spontaneous resolution of a severe MO after whiplash injury 
      in a car crash accident.
