Abstract
Paracentral Acute Middle Maculopathy (PAMM) is an optical coherence tomography finding observed in patients with retinal capillary ischaemia. It is a type of ischaemic maculopathy that affects the intermediate and deep retinal capillary plexuses. PAMM has been associated with various retinal vascular disorders such as retinal artery and venous occlusions, diabetic retinopathy, sickle cell anaemia, and Purtscher retinopathy. It can also occur following a flu-like illness and transorbital compression. The authors present a case of a 37-year-old healthy female patient who exhibited signs and symptoms suggestive of PAMM a few days after experiencing a self-limiting flu-like illness.
