Purtscher retinopathy is a form of retinopathy. It can threaten vision.[1]
It was first characterized in 1910 and 1912 as a syndrome of sudden blindness after head trauma.[2] It may also be associated with acute pancreatitis, vasculitis, and embolization of such materials as fat and amniotic fluid.[3] It may be treated with triamcinolone in some cases.[4]
