Abstract
- Since Purtscher's original discriptions similar clinical signs have been described following acute compressive neck or chest injuries, chest compression, val salva maneuvers, long bone fractures, acute pancreatitis and after childbirth. The appearance of Purtscher's retinopathy are believed to be due to ischemic episodes particularly in the end arterioles around the macula and disc. We experienced two cases of Purtscher's-like retinopathy in patients with systemic hypertension who had not any recent trauma history and reviewed the available literatures regarding this disease.
