Purtscher's retinopathy is a retinal lesion associated with different diseases such as cardiac aneurism, thoracic compression, bone fractures, post-trauma, pancreatitis and eclampsia. It consists in the appearance of white patches and retinal hemorrhage encircling an apparently normal optic disk. There is some controversy about its pathogenesis, but a probable cause for the development of this affection might be leukocyte emboli activated by complement. We present the case of a patient who developed a Purtscher's like retinopathy while he was being treated for pancreatitis.
普尔夏视网膜病变是一种与多种疾病相关的视网膜病变，如心脏动脉瘤、胸部受压、骨折、创伤后、胰腺炎和子痫。其表现为白色斑块以及围绕看似正常视盘的视网膜出血。关于其发病机制存在一些争议，但这种病变发展的一个可能原因可能是补体激活的白细胞栓子。我们报告一例在胰腺炎治疗期间发生类似普尔夏视网膜病变的患者病例。
