Abstract
Purtscher-like retinopathy (PLR) is a rare entity related with retinal ischemia due to endothelial dysfunction and embolization. We present a case of a 17-year-old patient who presented with PLR associated with transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy. Visual acuity was finger counting at 1 meter in both eyes. Fundoscopy demonstrated peripapillary cotton-wool spots and hypopigmentation in the middle peripheral retina. Both eyes showed signs of macular edema with intraretinal hemorrhages. Optical coherence tomography and fundus fluorescence angiography was performed to support the diagnosis. After systemic treatments and panretinal photocoagulation, the patient's vision improved and the macular edema resolved. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina 2024;55:603-606.].
