Sumario: | PURPOSE: To analyze the imaging characteristics and the clinical course of patients showing concomitant paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) and acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) post-blunt trauma. METHODS: PAMM and AMN lesions post-blunt trauma diagnosed on enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) were recruited for the study. RESULTS: Thirteen eyes of 13 individuals with a history of blunt trauma were included in the study, of whom 11 (85%) were males. Mean age of the patients was 33.62 (range 16–67) years. Mean visual acuity at presentation and the last visit was 1.67 log of minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) and 0.82 logMAR, respectively. Mean interval between trauma and imaging was 5.08 (range 1–15) days. All patients had unilateral involvement, with the right eye being involved in 10 patients (77%). All patients had concomitant PAMM and AMN lesions. CONCLUSION: Presence of coincident PAMM and AMN suggests a common pathophysiologic etiology, but the description of concomitant PAMM and AMN in the setting of blunt trauma to eye is hitherto unreported. Identifying AMN in a setting of PAMM requires meticulous examination of the OCT and OCTA images. It can be a cause of suboptimal visual recovery in such eyes. |
