  • Title: Postpartum central retinal artery occlusion simulating Purtscher's retinopathy.
    Author: Ayaki M, Yokoyama N, Furukawa Y.
    Journal: Ophthalmologica; 1995; 209(1):37-9. PubMed ID: 7715926.
    Abstract:
    A 30-year-old woman noticed sudden visual loss in her right eye 3 days after a normal childbirth and without eclampsia during pregnancy. An ophthalmic examination revealed that she had impending central retinal artery occlusion and her right visual acuity was 20/2000, which recovered to 20/30. A systemic examination showed hypercoagulability and hyperlipidemia but no abnormal findings on brain CT scan and echocardiography. Clinical features of this case were very similar to Purtscher's retinopathy.
