Paracentral acute middle maculopathy as preamble of retinal vascular occlussion. The importance of an accurate follow-up.

Author: Lucia Santana-Garcia (Spain)

Purpose

To analyse Paracentral Acute Middle Maculopathy (PAMM) focussing on its spectral-domain optical coherence tomographic (SD-OCT) findings and highlighting its relationship with vascular occlusions of the retina.

Setting/Venue

PAMM has recently been associated with numerous retinal vascular diseases including retinal vein or artery occlusion and hypoperfusion of the cilioretinal artery. To date, near-infrared reflectance, fundus autofluorescence and SD-OCT imaging remain the most sensitive modalities. En-face OCT and OCT-angiography have emerged as promising tools in the management too.

Methods

We report a case of a unilateral central acute onset negative scotoma in a 68-year-old patient with no other visual symptoms. Funduscopic examination did reveal no significant abnormalities; one subtle whitish parafoveal lesion deeper within the retina and a narrowing of the vessel close to it were perceptible. The OCT-scan showed a hyperreflective band-like at the inner nuclear layer with near-infrared reflectance imaging.

Results

A complete work-up was performed to diagnose and prevent other cardiovascular systemic damage. As a result of an accurate follow-up, 6 months later, a branch retinal artery embolus was diagnosed.

Conlusions

As the clinical appearance can be quite subtle by funduscopic examination, reliance on supplemental diagnostic imaging techniques is critical. A complete study of cardiovascular risk factors should be performed. A rigorous follow-up of the patient is necessary since occlusion in retinal vessels may appear in the following months to the presentation of PAMM.
