AB  - The authors report a new spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) 
      appearance observed in two patients with Purtscher-like retinopathy. In this 
      prospective case series of three eyes of two patients with Purtscher-like 
      retinopathy, the patients were assessed with biomicroscopy, fluorescein 
      angiography (FA), and SD-OCT. The last examinations of the patients were 
      performed at 3 months and 12 months, respectively. Both patients presented with 
      decreased visual acuity. Fundus examination revealed a whitish-appearing 
      parafoveal retina and scattered cotton-wool spots in the posterior retina. FA 
      showed hypofluorescent spots that correspond to the cotton-wool spots and retinal 
      hemorrhages seen clinically. SD-OCT scan of cotton-wool spots showed focal 
      hyperreflectivity in the nerve fiber and the ganglion cell layers. SD-OCT scan of 
      the macula in both patients showed hyperreflective areas in the inner plexiform, 
      inner nuclear, outer plexiform, and outer nuclear layers. Hyperreflective areas 
      disappeared during follow-up of the patients. Retinal thinning was observed in 
      these areas after resolution. These findings are in accordance with 
      histopathological findings and support the microvascular embolization theory in 
      pathophysiology of Purtscher-like retinopathy. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging 
      Retina. 2018;49:64-69.].
