Abstract

Purtscher-like retinopathy is a rare ocular disease that manifests with sudden loss of vision, associated with a systemic pathology such as systemic lupus erythematosus. We present the case of a 25-year-old male patient with Purtscher-like retinopathy as the first manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus, evaluated in a high-complexity centre in the city of Medellín, Colombia. Improvement of signs and symptoms was observed after the start of corticosteroids and monthly intravenous cyclophosphamide therapy. We consider prompt ophthalmological evaluation essential in patients with suspected autoimmune diseases, to make an early diagnosis and improve the prognosis.

Resumen

La retinopatía de Purtscher-like es una enfermedad ocular poco común que se manifiesta con pérdida súbita de la visión, asociada con una patología sistémica como lo es el lupus eritematoso sistémico. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 25 años, con retinopatía Purtscher-like como primera manifestación de lupus eritematoso sistémico, evaluado en un centro de alta complejidad de la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia. Se observa mejoría de signos y síntomas posteriormente al inicio de corticoesteroides y terapia con ciclofosfamida intravenosa mensual. Se considera fundamental la valoración oftalmológica temprana en pacientes con sospecha de enfermedades autoinmunes, para realizar diagnósticos tempranos y mejorar el pronóstico de los pacientes.
