Purtscher-Like Retinopathy with Renal Impairment: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

PLR is a rare condition often linked to systemic diseases such as renal failure. Its pathophysiology involves retinal microvascular damage, potentially mediated by complement activation. Diagnosis is based on characteristic fundoscopic findings and associated systemic conditions. Corticosteroids remain the most commonly used treatment, although evidence for their efficacy is limited. This case highlights the rare overlap between PLR and renal impairment, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management. Further research is needed to elucidate the pathophysiology and optimize treatment protocols for PLR.

Abstract

PLR is a rare condition often linked to systemic diseases such as renal failure. Its pathophysiology involves retinal microvascular damage, potentially mediated by complement activation. Diagnosis is based on characteristic fundoscopic findings and associated systemic conditions. Corticosteroids remain the most commonly used treatment, although evidence for their efficacy is limited. This case highlights the rare overlap between PLR and renal impairment, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management. Further research is needed to elucidate the pathophysiology and optimize treatment protocols for PLR.
