Findings was changed:

There is a hyperdensity involving the periphery of the right orbit almost circumferentially, but with sparing of the posterior third. On the other hand the haemorrhage extends comparatively far anteriorly - closer to the length than the 2 and 10 o'clock positions, which is where the retina terminates (the ora serrata). These features indicate that there is a choroidal, rather than a retinal detachment.
