Abstract: To report spectral domain optical coherence tomography findings in acute Purtscher’s retinopathy. Methods: Case report and image analysis. Results: A 32-year-old man presented with decreased vision and cotton-wool spots in his right eye, which was hyperreflective on spectral domain optical coherence tomography. There were retinal and pre retinal haemorrhages. He was diagnosed with Purtscher’s retinopathy, after two months of observation the vision slightly improved but still poor, although the haemorrhages resolved with some remaining retinal opacification of papillomacular bundle. There was marked temporal optic nerve pallor Conclusion: The visual prognosis of Purtscher’s retinopathy could be very guarded if the infarction involves the papillomacular bundle.
Keywords: Purtscher’s retinopathy, Trauma, retinal haemorrhages, optic nerve pallor.
