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.
