Abstract

Paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) has been described as an independent entity or accompanied by other retinal vascular diseases like diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, retinal artery occlusion and with the consumption of vasoconstrictors like caffeine and epinephrine [1,2].

Highlights

  • Paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) has been described as an independent entity or accompanied by other retinal vascular diseases like diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, retinal artery occlusion and with the consumption of vasoconstrictors like caffeine and epinephrine [1,2]

  • We reported a middle-aged man with 20/20 BCVA and a scotoma in front of the right eye and acute retinal whitening consistent with the diagnosis of hypoperfusion in the distribution of cilioretinal artery and PAMM at the lower border of whitening site

  • We showed cilioretinal artery hypoperfusion accompanying paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) in the border of the low-perfusion area as a hyperreflective band in the inner nuclear layer in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images
