Abstract:
This case study describes a patient with multiple trauma associated with acute visual impairment. Funduscopic examination revealed scattered and confluent cotton wool exudates bilaterally. This retinopathy was first described by Othmar Purtscher, an Austrian ophthalmologist, in 1910, which he later referred to as "angiopathia retinae traumatica."
