We aim to present a case with bilateral sequential paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM). A 57-year-old man presented with paracentral scotoma in the left eye. The patient's multimodal imaging findings were consistent with PAMM in the left eye. Extensive systemic work-up revealed hypertension and a history of cerebrovascular event. One year after initial presentation, the patient had a subsequent decrease in visual acuity in the right eye and developed optical coherence tomography findings consistent with PAMM, whereas the left eye showed resolved PAMM findings. Although rare, PAMM can occur bilaterally. Clinicians should monitor unilateral PAMM patients with systemic vasculopathy for involvement in the fellow eye.
我们旨在介绍一例双侧相继性旁中心性急性黄斑病变(PAMM)病例。一位 57 岁男性因左眼旁中心性暗点就诊。患者的多模态影像学检查结果符合左眼 PAMM。广泛的系统检查发现高血压和脑血管事件史。初次就诊一年后,患者右眼视力下降,光学相干断层扫描检查结果符合 PAMM,而左眼 PAMM 已消退。尽管罕见,但 PAMM 可双侧发生。临床医生应监测伴有系统性血管病变的单侧 PAMM 患者,以防对侧眼受累。
