Purtscher's retinopathy preceding acute pancreatitis

R J Sanders et al. Ann Ophthalmol. 1992 Jan.

Abstract

A patient with a long history of alcohol abuse had diminished vision. The clinical and angiographic findings were consistent with Purtscher's retinopathy. Subsequently, the patient was hospitalized for acute pancreatitis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pancreatic retinopathy preceding the systemic findings of acute pancreatitis.
