Abstract

Non-ocular causes of loss of vision following polytrauma have been rarely reported in the literature. We report a case of Purtscher’s retinopathy in a 20-year-old male patient who had bilateral femur fracture. His vision became normal at 8 weeks follow-up without any intervention.

Özet

Politravma sonrasında görme kaybının gözle ilgili olmayan nedenleri literatürde çok nadir bildirilmiştir. Bilateral femur kırığı olan 20 yaşındaki bir erkek hastada Purtscher retinopatisi olgusunu sunuyoruz. Hastanın görme duyusu herhangi bir girişimde bulunulmadan 8 haftalık takipte normale dönmüştür.
