Abstract

© 2020 Gazi Eye Foundation. All rights reserved.Purtscher retinopathy is a rare occlusive retinopathy secondary to trauma. When typical retinal fi ndings occur in the complete absence of trauma, it is termed as Purtscher like retinopathy. Unilateral Purtscher retinopathy was diagnosed in the fi rst case presented with unilateral loss of vision following traffi c accident. We presented multimodal imaging and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) fi ndings. We also presented multimodal imaging and OCT-A fi ndings in the second case with bilateral Purtscher-like retinopathy secondary to Conn syndrome. It is thought that OCT-A examination in Purtscher retinopathy is valuable as it provides rapid, noninvasive assessment of capillary ischemia in the early period.
