  • Title: [Purtscher-like retinopathy associated with adult onset still disease: Case report and review of the literature].
    Author: Escoda T, Seguier J, Swiader L, Briantais A, Sampo M, Harlé JR, Durand JM.
    Journal: Rev Med Interne; 2020 Apr; 41(4):279-283. PubMed ID: 31983549.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Putscher-like retinopathy is a retinal disease that is similar to the syndrome initially described in 1910 by Purtscher, but occurring in a non-traumatic context. CASE REPORT: We describe a case of acute, Putscher-like retinopathy in a 48-year-old woman experiencing adult onset Still's disease. The diagnosis was based on fundus examination and fluorescein angiography. Based on a review of the literature, we discuss the current available data on the pathophysiology of this syndrome and its prognostic significance. The treatment remains controversial. CONCLUSION: When visual functional signs appear during adult Still's disease, it is necessary to evoke Putscher-like retinopathy, and to ask for an ophthalmological expertise.
