Abstract
Paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) can result from decreased perfusion to retinal and choroidal circulations meeting in the inner nuclear layer (INL) and outer plexiform layer (OPL). Although ischemia in these layers is rare, certain procedures place patients at risk for possible events, such as cardiopulmonary bypass, coronary angiography, and endovascular coil embolization. We report the case of a 70-year-old woman with a sudden-onset left paracentral scotoma following internal carotid endovascular repair. Currently no treatment or preventive technique is available. Additional ischemic events can occur if a preventable cause is not identified.
