RESUMEN
PURPOSE: The authors describe a man undergoing autologous stem cell transplant, who developed granulomatosis with polyangiitis and Purtscher'sâlike retinopathy. METHODS: A 25-year-old man underwent fundus photography, optical coherence tomography, and fluorescein angiography to obtain a diagnosis and follow the treatment course. RESULTS: The initial ophthalmic presentation and imaging confirmed the findings of Purtscher'sâlike retinopathy. Throughout his course, he had progressive neovascularization and vitreous hemorrhages in both eyes, requiring vitrectomy and endolaser, and bevacizumab injections. CONCLUSION: The authors describe a patient who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation, and subsequently developed granulomatosis with polyangiitis. The presentation of Purtscher'sâlike retinopathy suggests that microvascular occlusion in the retina was likely the result of granulomatosis with polyangiitis-driven vasculitis of the precapillary arterioles.
