Retin Cases Brief Rep. 2020 Summer;14(3):275-277. doi: 10.1097/ICB.0000000000000696.

Abstract

Purpose: To describe paracentral acute middle maculopathy associated with Purtscher retinopathy, particularly in Purtscher flecken lesions as a retinal complication in a case secondary to fractures of long bones.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 16-year-old boy with bilateral paracentral scotomata presented with bilateral paracentral acute middle maculopathy as part of Purtscher retinopathy in both eyes as consequence of tibia and fibula fractures.

Conclusion: Paracentral acute middle maculopathy is one of the optical coherence tomography findings in Purtscher retinopathy.
